Reading data from text file in SoapUI using groovy script

How to read data from text file in SoapUI. SoapUI Pro has some advance feature which is not in SaopUI as data fetching from external sources so in SoapUI we use Groovy script for that. Following are the peace of groovy script code for reading data from text file.

1. Reading all data from text file.

//reading all txt file at once

File file = new File("E://TestData.txt")

fileContent = file.getText()

log.info fileContent

2. Reading data line by line from text file.

//reading text line by line

File file1 = new File("E://TestData.txt")

List textLine = file1.readLines()

log.info textLine

3. Reading data randomly of any line from text file.

//reading text randon line number

File file2 = new File("E://TestData.txt")

List textLine2 = file2.readLines()

rowIndex = Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % 4 + 1)

log.info textLine2[rowIndex]

Performance Testing in the Cloud with JMeter & AWS

JMeter is a wonderful tool to stress test your website and your application architecture , however if you are trying to simulate many users (>1000) one JMeter instance (=pc) will not be sufficient. You will have to set up a JMeter cluster with multiple machines. JMeter is capable or running distributed tests , but it comes with limitations. Since most of us don’t have multiple servers laying around somewhere, we usually go to cloud service providers like AWS , spin up a couple of EC2 instances and turn them off whenever we’re done. Here is the problem, JMeter uses Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) to communicate to its slaves, but these connections require all machines to be on the same subnet and this is not feasible with EC2 instances. Below, I explain how to get around this problem using a 3 node configuration in AWS to execute tests. I assume that you have a written the test already and have the .jmx file r...

Difference Between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects in JMeter

In this post, we will highlight important difference between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects options. These options are found in HTTP Request sampler of JMeter. Knowing the difference will help you decide your performance test strategy. When you check Redirect Automatically option, JMeter will not consider redirect as separate HTTP request. This in turn may result as lower response time in your overall performance test. Whereas Follow Redirect option will consider each redirection as separate requests. This may result in comparatively higher response time. This only has any effect if “Redirect Automatically” is not enabled. To see the difference between these two, record a sample script and run it by checking Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects option. The second option will generate more requests in your result listener. As you can see from the above post, knowing the difference between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects option makes difference i...

A Tutorial to Send Email using JMeter

Sending email is a mundane activity in any professional’s life. It’s a common medium for communication nowadays. Therefore performance testing of email server is not only important but necessary for an organization. JMeter can be helpful to perform load testing in such scenarios. In this tutorial, we will see how JMeter can be used to send email. We will use SMTP Sampler of JMeter to send an email. JavaMail API is needed to enable email functionality in JMeter. Download it from here and paste the jar in JMeter’s lib folder. Now, perform below steps to configure SMTP Sampler. Add a new Thread Group under Test Plan. Right click on Thread Group and select Add–>Sampler–>SMTP Sampler. We need to populate SMTP server’s details in this sampler. We will use GMail for sending an email. For this, enter these values in SMTP Sampler fields. Server: smtp.googlemail.com, Port: 587. Provide values in Email Address From and To fields of Mail Settings section to specify sender...
