WebServices LoadTesting Using Jmeter

Before starting Jmeter Webservices testing we need to keep below information handy for :

1. XML/XMLs required for the flow

2. URL where the SOAP/XML-RPC Request

Let us Create a new order using webservice:

1. Create a Test Plan

2. Add a Thread Group

3. Add Sampler -> SOAP/XML-RPC Request as shown below:

SOAP/XML-RPC Request sampler sends a SOAP request to a webservice. It can also be used to send XML-RPC over HTTP.

4. Fill the required details in URL and SOAP/XML-RPC Data (XML) in the Request as shown below:

In this XML we have some fields which are unique and need to be changed every time we send the request else it will fail as duplicate record as below:

“There is an ongoing Customer Order with the same Customer Order ID”

We will bring uniqueness to the record in 2 ways:

1. Using the Data generated in a CSV file

2. Using a Beanshell sampler and change the Parameters in the xml

Method 1:

1. We will create a CSV file with the required data (may be Manual entry of the required format) and store it.

2. We have 3 fields which are required to be unique for creating an order.

3. The fields are as below defined in CSV Data Set Config:

4. Also, the fields in the xml are defined as below:

<core:value>${LOCATION_ID}</core:value>

<core:value>${CUSTOMER_ID}</core:value>

<core:value>${PHONE1}</core:value>

5. Once done if we run the test we can view in the Result Tree that the request passed as below :

Below is the Test Plan along with the Result.

Method 2:

In this method we will use a Beanshell Sampler to generate a random value for the required fields and replace them in the XML.

We will use timestamp and a unique postfix generated using a counter:

We have counter defined as below:

In Beanshell Sampler we had the below code:

The XML is same as used in Method 1.

Run the Thread and check in the View Results we have the below :

This is how we can run Webservices in Jmeter.

In the above methods, in case there is change in the XML we need to modify the SOAP/XML-RPC Request everytime.
