Practice with JMeter

Let's move on to practice.

SOAP/XML-RPC Web Services

Our test application will be a web service named Calculator (an example provided with Netbeans 8.2):

Figure 8.5: Calculator

Let's use HTTP Request and add in the Path and Body Data our call to the CalculatorWSService web service:

Figure 8.6: Web Service Call

Do not forget to add an assertion to control our response:

Figure 8.7: Result control

Here, we check that there is no exception returned by the web service.

Our test plan will look like this:

Figure 8.8: Test Plan

And, the result of the execution is:

Figure 8.9: HTML Source Formatted rendering

Note

Here, we used HTML Source Formatted rendering for a better presentation of the answer. XML rendering is also possible.

You can see the result of a call to the web service, CalculatorWSService, which makes an addition of 5 and 8.

To make the dataset as large as possible, we'll use the __Random function...
