Null pointer and SLA errors with 1 VU

[steve_ewing]

I'm new to SOAP UI and Load UI and I'm not a developer so please bear with me.

I've created an API request that will create a service request record in one of our applications.

The script runs fine in SOAP UI.

I've created a Load UI test based on the SOAP UI test.

I've used the default template.

I've set the VUs to 1 and run the test for 1 minute.

Issue #1

I'm getting between 1 and 3 Response did not meet SLA messages with times between 2 and 12 minutes.

I'm surprised I'm getting any performance related errors with a load of 1 users but is there a way to increase the SLA default of 200 ms?

Issue #2

After each run of the test, I get 2 null poiner exceptions:

CancelExecutionRABackwardCompatibilityLoadTestRunner.getCounterValue
CancelExecutionRABackwardCompatibilityLoadTestRunner.getTargetExecutionCount

I'm happy to add more specific details if it'll help.  Thanks.

Sorry, I meant to write 2 and 12 seconds.

I figured out how to deal with the SLA errors.  Seems it can't be changed but it can be deleted and recreated with a different value.  I chose 1200 ms and got no SLA errors with 1 VU.  I've attached a couple of screenshots of how I did it.  Hopefully it will help someone.

Still having null pointer exception problems so if anyone has any clue, please drop me a line.

I'm not getting the null pointer exception anymore but I don't know why.  If I see it again, I will open a support call.  Thank you.
