Parallel Testing on REST Test Step

[daiva]

Hello Everyone,

Need Help on Parallel testing in ATF.
I have a requirement for Testing REST API POST Method to hit the X website 500 times with different Payload(Response Body).
I've used Parameterized Testing and the Test results are Success but it is taking almost 47-60 minutes to test 500 responses but i have to test for an 'N' number of requests(payloads) that takes too long.
I hope parallel testing reduces the time(Running all test parallelly).
Is it possible to Parallel Test? Or
Can i use Load Testing for this?
If yes, How can i achieve that?
Or any Other approach to do the above Requirement?
Any help/advice/suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Regards,

Prasad

For this level of load/integration testing I'd recommend looking into third party tools. I'd also validate with ServiceNow on whether this level of testing is allowed. Penetration testing, and load testing are suppose to be completed on a separate dedicated platform as to not impact performance of the shared infrastructure. This is written into customer contracts.
