Looping a SOAPUI WSDL request

Hello,

             I'm new to SoapUI and have created a request that I would like to run 100 times. Is there a way to set this up? Is there a way to do this at the DOS command prompt?I'm looking for a sample code which would allow me to loop the request a set number of times. 

 

 

Thanks

    Hi,

     

    The simplest way to do this might be by setting up a simple load test in SoapUI:

    So, just set:

    • 1 thread
    • Strategy: Simple
    • Limit: 100 Total Runs
    • Optionally add a short Test Delay, otherwise your service could get too much load.

    Another option would be to use Groovy TestSteps to loop over your Request TestStep 100 times, this is easier than it sounds, but would require simple coding skills. We can talk more about this if you want. There are plenty of examples of Groovy script looping on this forum - heres one example http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/Looping-series-of-test-step-using-groovy/m-p/102994#M18035 

     

    To run from a DOS prompt, there are many options e.g. Maven, Gradle scripts - probably the simplest option is to use the testrunner.bat script provided in <SoapUI Home>/bin - see https://www.soapui.org/test-automation/running-functional-tests.html

     

    Again there are many community posts on running SoapUI from scripts!

     

    Hope this helps,

    Cheers,

    Rupert
