Allocating more resources to a particular VirtAction in a virtual service for performance testing

Hi,

I created a VS to be subjected for load testing. There are a few VirtActions built in but there is only one which is being subjected to most load. Is there a way to allocate more resources to this one virtaction for performance efficiency?

 

Thanks,

Rahul

Hi,

 

VirtActions are specific to resource paths to handle requests and responses from a Virt and not server load.  You will need to make a change to the Virt to handle server load by adjusting the server capacity settings for the Virt.  Please see the below link for more details.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have already updated the min and max threads to XL and above in the behavior settings but still the service is unable to scale beyond 250 tps. It is probably because of the complex condition checks in the Dispatch script. Below are my VM configurations, which I believe are sufficient to allow more number of threads.

Hi,

 

Out of curiosity: what is the reason to *load test* *virtual* service?

I agree with Alex. I don't see any point running the load or performance test. Virtual server is basically to enable QA team to create the test cases or automation while the dev team actually develop the service.
