LoadUI Average Response Time discrepancy
Hi, I am using LoadUI 2.1.1 version (had issues running the latest version so stuck in old one for now). I am trying to test a REST service hosted in Azure. For that, I have created a Virtual User Scenario with 2 Soap UI runners attached to Ramp sequence generators. The test is run for 2 hrs with ramp duration of 15 min and peak duration of 1 hrs 30 min. Load at peak duration is 100 requests/sec. The average timing I am getting for the API's is ~ 1500 ms in the LoadUI report. However, when I checked the IIS server logs, the "time-taken" field shows a much lesser value for most of the requests (usually around 300-400 ms). Can you please let me know the reason for this discrepancy? Is there some additional delay captured in LoadUI which is not captured in server logs. Also, I would like to understand whether the amount of time the request is queued in LoadUI is added to the response time. Please let me know in case of any clarifications.

Hi, I am using LoadUI version 2.1.1. I am trying to run performance tests on a REST service hosted on Windows Azure from a VM with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2 GHz and 3.75 GB RAM. The test case has 2 ramp generators setup to run for 2 hrs (ramp duration of 15min, peak duration of 1 hr 30 min) with peak rate at 50. The ramp generators are connected to 2 Soap UI runners which are basically pointing to same API but with different request headers. In both the Soap UI runners, I have increased the max Queue size to 10000 and concurrent samples to 1000. Screenshots are attached for reference. When it reaches peak load (100 requests/sec), a lot of the requests are getting discarded and the Task Manager in the VM shows CPU usage to be hovering around 100%. So does that mean I have to either upgrade the VM or trim down on the peak rate? More importantly, for the current scenario, does this high usage affect the response times which I am getting in the report? Please suggest. Also, as you can see in the screenshot, there will be some requests which will stay in running status even when the test crosses the 2 hr mark. I have to manually stop it and abort the currently running requests to get the report. Any insights on this issue also would greatly help.

Hi, I have a peculiar issue with SoapUI runner. I am using the free versions of Soap UI (4.5.2) and LoadUI (2.1.1). I am trying to test a REST service hosted in Azure. For that, I have created a Virtual User Scenario with 2 Soap UI runners attached to Ramp sequence generators. The test is run for 2 hrs with ramp duration of 15 min and peak duration of 1 hrs 30 min. Load at peak duration is 100 requests/sec. The issue is that when the test completes 2 hrs, I can see some requests in running status which never gets completed. I have to stop the test and abort the currently running requests to get the report. Also, when I check the generated report I see that the 2 soapui runners have request count as 314999 and 314998. I have observed that even after executing different api's multiple times, the two soapui runners always have same count. Is there something with these numbers that soapui runner never seems to cross? I could not find any setting relating to maximum requests soapui runner can execute. I would really appreciate if somebody can offer some insight into this issue as it has become a blocker for me. The screenshots for Loadui runner and report are attached. Please let me know if any clarifications are needed.

Hi, I am using SoapUI runner in one of my VU scenario. The SoapUI runner has 2 test steps. The question I had was that in the report that is generated in LoadUI after the test run, the “AVG” statistic gives the overall average time taken by both the test steps in that test case? If that is the case, then how do I come to know the individual average response time for each test step in the test case?
