| 9. Building a WebService Test Plan<a class="sectionlink" href="#building" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| In this section, you will learn how to create a |
| <a href="build-test-plan.html">Test Plan</a> to test a WebService. You will |
| create five users that send requests to One page. |
| Also, you will tell the users to run their tests twice. So, the total number of |
| requests is (5 users) x (1 requests) x (repeat 2 times) = 10 HTTP requests. To |
| construct the Test Plan, you will use the following elements: |
| <a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a>, |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request">HTTP Request</a>, and |
| <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#Aggregate_Graph">Aggregate Graph</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If the sampler appears to be getting an error from the webservice, double check the |
| SOAP message and make sure the format is correct. In particular, make sure the |
| <span class="code">xmlns</span> attributes are exactly the same as the WSDL. If the xml namespace is |
| different, the webservice will likely return an error. |
| </p> |

| 9.1 Creating WebService Test Plan<a class="sectionlink" href="#soap_webservice_template" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p>In our Test Plan, we will use a .NET webservice. We won't go into the details of writing a |
| webservice. If you don't know how to write a webservice, google for |
| webservice and familiarize yourself with writing webservices for |
| Java and .NET. It should be noted there is a significant difference |
| between how .NET and Java implement webservices. The topic is too |
| broad to cover in the user manual. Please refer to other sources to |
| get a better idea of the differences.</p> |

| Start by using menu |

| and select template "<span class="code">Building a SOAP Webservice Test Plan</span>". |
| Then, click "<span class="code">Create</span>" button. |

| |
| <li> |
| In "<span class="code">HTTP Request Defaults</span>" change "<span class="code">Server Name of IP</span>" |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| In "<span class="code">Soap Request</span>", change "<span class="code">Path:</span>" |

| |
| </ol> |
| |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Next, select "<span class="code">HTTP Header Manager</span>" and update "<span class="code">SOAPAction</span>" header to match your webservice. |
| Some webservices may not use SOAPAction in this case remove it. |
| <br> |
| Currently, only .NET uses SOAPAction, so it is normal to have a blank SOAPAction for all other webservices. The list includes JWSDP, Weblogic, Axis, The Mind Electric Glue, and gSoap. |

| The last step is to paste the SOAP message in the "<span class="code">Body Data</span>" |
| text area. |

| 9.2 Adding Users<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_users" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| The <a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a> tells |
| JMeter the number of users you want to simulate, how often the users should send |
| requests, and the how many requests they should send. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Select the Thread Group element |
| in the tree, if you have not already selected it. You should now see the Thread |
| Group Control Panel in the right section of the JMeter window (see Figure 9.2 |
| below)</p> |
| |
| <figure> |
| <a href="../images/screenshots/webtest/threadgroup.png"><img src="../images/screenshots/webtest/threadgroup.png" width="" height="" alt=" |
| Figure 9.2. Thread Group with Default Values"></a> |
| <figcaption> |
| Figure 9.2. Thread Group with Default Values</figcaption> |
| </figure> |
| |
| <p>Start by providing a more descriptive name for our Thread Group. In the name |
| field, enter JMeter Users.</p> |
| |
| <p>Next, increase the number of users (called threads) to 10.</p> |
| |
| <p>In the next field, the Ramp-Up Period, leave the default value of 0 |
| seconds. This property tells JMeter how long to delay between starting each |
| user. For example, if you enter a Ramp-Up Period of 5 seconds, JMeter will |
| finish starting all of your users by the end of the 5 seconds. So, if we have |
| 5 users and a 5 second Ramp-Up Period, then the delay between starting users |
| would be 1 second (5 users / 5 seconds = 1 user per second). If you set the |
| value to 0, then JMeter will immediately start all of your users.</p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Finally, clear the checkbox labeled "<span class="code">Forever</span>", and enter a value of <span class="code">2</span> in |
| the Loop Count field. This property tells JMeter how many times to repeat your |
| test. If you enter a loop count value of <span class="code">0</span>, then JMeter will run your test only |
| once. To have JMeter repeatedly run your Test Plan, select the <span class="code">Forever</span> |
| checkbox. |
| </p> |
| |
| <div class="clear"></div> |
| <div class="note">In most applications, you have to manually accept |
| changes you make in a Control Panel. However, in JMeter, the Control Panel |
| automatically accepts your changes as you make them. If you change the |
| name of an element, the tree will be updated with the new text after you |
| leave the Control Panel (for example, when selecting another tree element).</div> |
| <div class="clear"></div> |

| 9.3 Adding a Listener to View Store the Test Results<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_listener" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| The final element you need to add to your Test Plan is a |
| <a href="component_reference.html#listeners">Listener</a>. This element is |
| responsible for storing all of the results of your HTTP requests in a file and presenting |
| a visual model of the data. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Select the JMeter Users element and add a <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#Aggregate_Graph">Aggregate Graph</a> listener |
| (<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Listener</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Aggregate Graph</span></span>). Next, you need to specify a directory and filename of the |
| output file. You can either type it into the filename field, or select the |
| Browse button and browse to a directory and then enter a filename. |
