I need to performance test my java content management platform. Its got a soap service (XFire) layer so I thought I would create the tests around this layer. I've narrowed my tool selection down to JMeter and SoapUI.
SoapUI seems very good at building SOAP requests, I have a lot of binary files that are inlined in the SOAP requests. However it uses the groovy scripting language and I don't really want to learn a new language just to be able to use the testing tool. I've spent a couple of the days looking at JMeter and still don't really know if its able to do what I need, so here goes. 1) Am I right in saying that I can use parameters to feed the results of one soap request into a second request ? 2) Can I create SOAP requests where the binary is inlined (these could end up being very large) in the future I was going to be looking at MOTM ? 3) Is there a feature list comparison for JMeter and SOAPUI does anyone have any experience of comparing these two and would they like to share there findings? Many Thanks Harvey
