Load Testing, recording average stats

Any ideas guys  ?

Hi Ali,

sorry for the delay on this.. Unfortunately I cant think of any easy way to accomplish this right now apart from making a custom modification to the sources.. I'll work something out and will get back to you..

regards!

I had more question devising a customized load test. If you can help me with this it would be great.

My webserver typically max's out at 5 threads. I want to create a test such that the threads start from 1 and then increase slowly all the way to 5 (let say over 1 hour). After this point I want to keep the load at 5 threads for 6 hours and then slowly start decreasing the thread count back to 1. Repeat as necessary.

This scenario typically mimics how customers hit our website. They start visiting in the morning and then we see a sustained load for about 10 hours and then most of them go to sleep.

Can I write some script that controls how threads increase/decrease and how much time is allocated to the threads.

Thanks

Ali

Hi Ali,

There is no built-in way to do this. For now you could create your own LoadTestRunListener extension (as described at http://www.soapui.org/architecture/extensions.html) that modifies the threadcount as desired.. we'll look into creating a LoadTest Strategy as you require..

As a feature request maybe you can consider this.

in a customized 'thread strategy', you can show a datagrid with two columns(thread count, run time). User can specify how many threads need to be run and for how long.

This way I can tailor exactly how I want my test to ramp up and down.
