increment a soap request's element for load test

[Aayush Singhal]

Hi all,

I've got a sample request like this :

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:imp="http://impls.www.aayush.com" xmlns:xsd="http://aayush.com/xsd">
<soap:Header/>
<soap:Body>
<imp:createCustomer>
<!--Optional:-->
<imp:request>
<!--Optional:-->
<xsd:custref>LoadTest1</xsd:custref>
</imp:request>
</imp:createCustomer>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Now I want to run a load test on this request using a different custRef everytime (this custRef is stored in a database so cannot be the same). How can i increment 'custRef' after every step so that the value is LoadTest1, LoadTest2, LoadTest3 etc??

Thanks in advance.

You can add groovy script step to generate this.

Thanks Ravinderjit for the reply.

But i couldn't understand how to transfer the properties through groovy script.

I tried to add the inline script ${System.currentTimeMillis()} in the custRef element but it send "" (blank string) in the request...

This is what you should add in your groovy script.

UID = System.currentTimeMillis();

Then add step 'Property Transfer' where you can easily transfer the result of groovy script to next step's request.
