How to test a WCF Webservice with JMeter?

Question

I have a WCF Webservice hosted on IIS which exposes a single method that takes three integer parameters. I have a simple, console based client which can call this method.

Answer 1

Disclaimer: I'm not a WSDL expert, so i can't tell you why the doc doesn't provide detail.

To generate the SOAP envelope for JMeter, I've used the free version of soapUI.

Steps

1. Import WSDL into soap
2. Create a default request for the method
3. Set the request view to RAW, and copy into JMeter

This provides me all the information I need for jmeter, including parameters, user-agent, endpoint, etc.
