Introduction


This chapter aims to build on basic load testing topics in the open source version of SoapUI. The main themes explored here are data-driven load testing, understanding concurrency issues when sharing a datasource between multiple threads, and running load tests from scripts.

This chapter focuses on the open source version of SoapUI. The related pro features of Datasource TestSteps and reporting are not covered here; for more on these topics please see the SoapUI online help at http://www.soapui.org/Data-Driven-Testing/loadtests.html and http://www.soapui.org/Load-Testing/exporting-data-and-statistics.html.

As you are probably aware, SoapUI has a related product, LoadUI, which takes load testing to another level. Unfortunately, as of July 2014 it is no longer open source, but its documentation is quite good and may give you ideas on how to solve load testing problems beyond those that SoapUI can manage out-of-the-box. Visit http://www.loadui.org/ for more information.
