    Ok in that case, I would prefer not use the SoapUI's load test, instead will go with a groovy script which will have better control to read the data source and run the test as well from with in the script.

Sorry for leaving lots unsaid.

Lets say its a test system; input being components under test.

the backend that tests, is proper system , i.e not simulated, hence the need to use exact input.

the input is a string - like a product code (all numbers).

a simple test would be to send in a code that will sent back a known successful result.

a load test, i would like to get a mix of results, hence would like to pass in a set of product codes,

which could generate different types of results; thus exercising a broader coverage in the backend, than just hammering one area.

 

Hope this makes sense...
