How to dynamically increment values using groovy script in SOAPUI

How to dynamically increment values using groovy script in SOAPUI

Lets say we want to load test our webservices and we want to have dynamic values for some of the fields in the request xml.

Thanks to my collegue Peter Blackburn we found out that we can create a groovy script which can help us in this case.

Steps to be followed

1) In the Test Steps, make the first step a Groovy Script. Mine looks like this:

if (context.LoadTestContext.requestId == null) { context.LoadTestContext.requestId = new java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong(100); } if (context.LoadTestContext.phoneNumber == null) { context.LoadTestContext.phoneNumber = new java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong(1000000101); } context.requestIdCurrent = context.LoadTestContext.requestId.getAndIncrement(); context.phoneNumberCurrent = context.LoadTestContext.phoneNumber.getAndIncrement(); 2) In your XML request, refer to the values you have just defined as follows: <xml> ... <soapenv:Body> <ns:TempRequest> <ns:requestHeader> <ns1:id>${requestIdCurrent}</ns1:id> </ns:requestHeader> <ns:telephoneNumber>${phoneNumberCurrent}</ns:telephoneNumber> </ns:TempRequest> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> </xml>
