Question

I would like to do load testing in windows based application for a webservice. I will be calling a WCF Service from Windows Application which in turn calls the webservice to retrieve the results. It will accept input xml and outputs response xml.

How can I do load testing by using for loops in an asynchronous way. I don’t want to use any load testing tools.

The Client reports that the “Record does not exist” is coming sometimes. But for me it is working fine. I would like to reproduce the result.

Currently I am sequentially writing the response xml to a text file. I would like to need this as asynchronous.

UPDATE:
I want to switch over from windows based application to web based application to do load test with Ajax. I would like to know how to write the Ajax code for input xml and get response xml in the form of text files

1. Make sure your WCF service supports multiple threads.
2. Generate proxy with asynchronous methods.
3. Spawn a lot of Begin[YourMethodName] function calls on your proxy object.
