Hi Folks,
Soak Test - Running a system at high load for a prolonged
period of time. For example, running several times more
transactions in an entire day (or night) than would be
expected in a busy day, to identify and performance
problems that appear after a large number of transactions
have been executed.

Objectives of Soak Testing

The objective of soak testing is to identify any
performance problems that may appear after a system has
been running at a high activity level for an extended
period of time.

It is possible that a system may? Stop? Working after a
certain number of transactions have been processed due to
(for example):
1. Serious memory leaks that would eventually result
in a memory crisis;
2. Failure to close connections between tiers of a
multi-tiered system which could halt some or all modules of
a system;
3. Failure to close database cursors under some
conditions which could eventually result in the entire
systems stalling;
4. Gradual degradation in response time of some
function as internal data structures become less efficient
during a long, high intensity test.
Soak testing provides an opportunity to identify such
defects.

I think it will help you out

Regards,
Shankar

I am getting the following error when I run a HTTP/HTML protocol script in controller. It simply says Error: 27764 - “https://..... Failed”. I was given 3 solutions but none of them worked. Offered solutions are 1. Change the Http version to 1.1 in the Run time settings of the script. – Changed but still got that error. (One of our team mate) 2. Check if I am running a mix of http and https Urls – Checked and I am only using Https URLs. (SQA forum) 3. In the controller, add all the scripts to one group using the ‘Vusers’ option – Done, But still getting errors. (Client) One thing I noticed is If the servers are restarted and the logs are cleared then the probability of getting this error is minimal but as the time grows between server restart, The number of error increases. If any of you have come across this before please help me in resolving this error
