It worked!
Thanks.

I have 1000 rows on the file so the first scenario doesn’t apply.

However I have set the test to 1 run. I thought it meant that the test should run only one time – this is, a full cycle over the text file input data – and that the run would be shared by N threads.

I’ll try setting the number of runs equal the number of threads.

However I cannot have more than 1 request using the same data. I wish to have exactly 1000 unique requests shared by N threads.
Unfortunately I’m away today and I cannot test it until Monday. I cannot wait to do it…

Thanks for the quick reply.

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.
