Web Service : Perf Test

To show the how to performance test of any webservice which is taking some input and returning  output in response , i am using Yahoo Weather service for Demo purpose .

 http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2442047&u=c

Input 1 :  W = 2442047 >>> Location Id 

Input 2 : u = c >> Celsius( Temp ) 

If User direct Request the  above url then it would return response like :

Yahoo! Weather - Los Angeles, CA
Yahoo! Weather for Los Angeles, CA
Conditions for Los Angeles, CA at 6:47 pm PSTFriday, December 14, 2012 8:17 AM

Current Conditions:

Fair, 12 C


Forecast:

Thu - Partly Cloudy. High: 16 Low: 8

Fri - Partly Cloudy. High: 14 Low: 9



Full Forecast at Yahoo! Weather

To Automate the above requirement  follow the Step below :

1. Add the Thread Group >>Add the Http Sampler   and add the Server name/ IP = weather.yahooapis.com  in Path  put the forecastrss?w=2442047&u=c   
2. Now  w=2442047 and u =c  need to be parametrized  replace them with ${location}  and ${format} 
   

  

3.Add Csv data set config provide the File name of csv file and Variables location,format

 4.Add Test data in Csv File 

 5. To verify the Web service is working or not  Add the Assertion >>
      In this case you can add the Location name in text response Pattern and  parametrize the  assertion text . I don't know the  all location so i am  just adding the Response Code in Assertion
