Threads not starting with DataSource Loop
Hi,
I was testing a Web service with SoapUI and it seemed not to scale at all. I was getting very worried (still am).
Then I introduced a delay step with a few seconds and watched what happened:
It doesn’t matter how many threads I specify on LoadTest, soapUI is only sending a new request after the delay specified!
What am I doing wrong?
I’m using the following test steps:
- DataSource (to a file, shared and preload flags specified) (*)
- Property Transfer
- Delay (2500ms)
- The Request to my web service
- DataSourceLoop to “Property Transfer”
If I run the test for about 5 seconds with 10 threads (Stretegy: Simple, Test Delay: 0) I was expecting a total count of 10*(5/2.5)=20 requests but instead I have only 2!
What is happening?
Thank you.
(*) Even with "shared: off" the threads don't start as expected.
