I have a SoapUI test which uses an input file to read lines as input of requests. So there is a loop which reads data and execute request and write output to file. Response times are too long, so processing of this file should be done asynchronously, but I am not sure, how SoapUI can handle this. There is file attachment in SOAP requests, which is not handled by current version of JMeter.

1Apache JMeter is great tool for such things. – marekful Jan 09 '18 at 04:46

Maybe yes, but this is written in `SoapUI` in `Groovy` and first of all `JMeter` can't handle file attachments in `SOAP` requests. – plaidshirt Jan 09 '18 at 04:55

Not sure if it can or cannot, but SOAP is still just XML sent over HTTP, so you could simulate anything. – marekful Jan 09 '18 at 04:57

How many test case do you have in the suite? Have you tried `Parallel` execution? – Rao Jan 09 '18 at 06:40
-
It is only 1 testcase with 2 test steps. As I know it can't execute same test step in parallel, on multiple threads. – plaidshirt Jan 10 '18 at 11:06

would you mind showing the groovy script you are talking about in your earlier comment? – Rao Jan 14 '18 at 06:22

@Rao : It is a relly simple one, which reads a text file in a loop, line by line. – plaidshirt Jan 14 '18 at 18:43

1@plaidshirt, first thing is there is no async call in soapui, I believe. It would be great if can elaborate more on your use case. Any ways, can you check [this](https://github.com/nmrao/sample-soapui-projects/tree/master/hybridExecution) sample project which I created sometime ago and see if you can apply to your case? – Rao Jan 15 '18 at 02:15

@plaidshirt, have you got chance to check the link mentioned in the above comment? Did it help? – Rao Jan 16 '18 at 09:44

@Rao : So isn't it solved by SoapUI and should I implement it in code? Yes, I checked it out, but not sure how to read a text file line by line in multi thread and write output parallel in a output/log file. How is it possible to handle this situation in case of multi-threads? – plaidshirt Jan 16 '18 at 13:29

@plaidshirt, soapui can run the test cases or suites in parallel. – Rao Jan 18 '18 at 08:26

@Rao : Could you show me please, how? – plaidshirt Jan 18 '18 at 08:34
-
@plaidshirt, sure - please see this documentation of soapui which is explained there - https://www.soapui.org/docs/functional-testing/structuring-and-running-tests.html – Rao Jan 18 '18 at 08:37

It says: "This page contains information on standalone SoapUI Pro that has been replaced with ReadyAPI." I have only free/open source version of SoapUI. – plaidshirt Jan 18 '18 at 08:39

@plaidshirt, please check the answer to see if that is helpful. – Rao Jan 18 '18 at 09:09

As per the SoapUI's documentation below, both test cases or test suites can be executed in Parallel mode.
In the case of TestSuites and TestCases these can be executed either in sequence or parallell, as configured with the corresponding toolbar buttons.
In the above image, first one in the marked image stands for sequential execution and the second one (with multiple parallel arrows) stands for Parallel execution mode.
User can select either of the one before executing the tests.
Hope this helps.
Note that SOAPUI does not allows test steps to be executed in parallel. If you need any custom execution i.e., same test case and steps to be executed in Parallel, here is sample project done for that. It can be used as reference and apply it to your case.

I understood this question as requiring the ability to call a service asynchronously due to the time it takes to process. So, by this, I mean SoapUI makes a request to a web service and instead of waiting for it, it carries on. At some point later, SoapUI receives the response.
SoapUI can handle this, I haven't tried it myself, but when reading some guides recently, I noticed it can be done.
See.... Blog Guide
In short, it involves setting up a mock service to receive the response, which can then be validated.
