Load Testing SOAtest Functional Tests
...
The goal of load testing is to verify application/service performance and functionality under heavy load. It allows you the ability to run test suites in parallel with multiple threads and multiple users.The best way to start load testing is to have multiple test clients run the complete functional test, including request submissions and response verifications. When load testing ignores the functionality verification process and focuses solely on load-rate metrics, it risks overlooking critical flaws such as functionality problems that surface only under certain loads.
