Run SoapUI as a Performance Test in AIQ

Recommended guidance

Use SoapUI for performance testing only when the SoapUI project is thread-safe, data-ready, and still required by the customer workflow. For new API performance tests, evaluate Service Suite or native AIQ performance assets first.

Performance checks

• Thread safety, setup and teardown behavior, and shared state inside the SoapUI project.
• Data uniqueness, account pools, cleanup, and endpoint rate limits.
• Load generator CPU, memory, network, and artifact storage.
• TPS, response-time, error-rate, ramp-up, and duration targets.

Validation workflow

1. Run one thread first and verify assertions and cleanup.
2. Increase concurrency gradually while monitoring AIQ and the target system.
3. Review whether bottlenecks come from SoapUI, the load generator, or the application.
4. Document results and any migration plan away from legacy SoapUI assets.
