Run two test steps in the same test case asynchronously

[jscorzelli]

Here is my question:

Is it possible to run two test steps, that are within the same test case, asynchronously?

Thanks,

Jonny

Do you mean to run in parallell?

Sure, is it possible to run two test steps in parallel (in the same test case)?

I believe not by designed.
Because, steps are always gets executed one after other.

If needed to execute in parallell, then they have to be a test case each where soapui allows to run the test cases in parallell.

By the way, what is your use case?

But, one can write a groovy script to execute the steps in parallell.

Do you know what that groovy script would look like?

The use case is I have one step that basically can't finish until another step begins. I want to keep them in the same test case so I can eventually use alertsite.

Thank you for the request which provoked me to create sample project to demonstrate the same.
