Performance testing using soapUI

I would like to show you performance testing of webservices using soap ui.
Performance testing of web services is not just running SOAP or XML messages in a loop to run the service. It should be a well-planned activity which must be aligned with the performance expectations of the overall service-oriented solution.  You can run multiple type of performance test such as SOAP , JSON, XML format messaging through a single interface
SoapUI allows users to configure various load testing options such as delays in between threads to simulate real-world use cases and run tests in burst mode to stress test services.

How to create Load Test: Just go to Navigation bar of soapUI click on your create soaui project and expand test case. Right click on “load test” options, enter load test name on opened window and click on OK button. Your created load test window looks like as below.


As in above screenshot have two soap ui test method “login” and “Register” both methods are automatically reflect on load test window.

Load Test Limit: load test limit define interval of test case execution. SoapUI has two variable for limit 1. Limit value 2. Limit type. Limit type has three options “Total Runs”, “seconds” “Runs per thread”
1. Total Runs limit type is used to set the number of times the TestCase needs to be executed during each load test run.
2. Seconds, lumit type is used to be execute of load test for a particular time.
3 .Runs per thread limit type is used to set number of time to be execute per thread of TestCase.


Threads: Threads act as virtual users in a load test. If the thread count is set as N, soapUI creates N number of clones of the associated TestCase and executes them.

Load test strategies: following type load strategies are used in soau UI
1. Simple
2. Burst
3. Thread
4. Variance



Set any load strategy as your requirement and click on run icon. After execution your window looks like as below screen.

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because  JMeter  allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We...

VBScript Code - Function to convert CSV file into excel and viceversa in QTP using VBScript

We at times are required to convert excel files into csv to read as flat files and sometime require to convert a csv file into excel file to use excel features on the data.   Below function shows how to convert an csv file into excel file and vice versa. We can also convert to other formats based on constants Here constant value 23 is used to create a csv file and constant -4143 to save a file as xls file. Once the destination file is created, we can delete the source file as shown below.  In case of any issue in understanding the code, please add in comment section Call func_ConversionCSVExcel("E:\Test.csv", "E:\Test_converted.xls", "csvtoexcel") Public Function func_ConversionCSVExcel(strSrcFile, strDestFile, Conversion) on error resume next Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application") set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strSrcFile) objExcel.application.visible=false objExcel.application.displayalerts=...
