getting Socket exception In performance testing

Question

I am getting the socket exception while capturing the load test performance results.

Exception SocketException 38 

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond
after a period of time,
 or established connection failed because connected host has failed to
respond 80.156.224.80:80 

Answer 1

Chinni1,

This might mean that the server( or service) being called is too busy to respond. Can you please share the stack trace?

Answer 2

Hi Chinni1,

As Tejas mentioned, please check whether the Load of the Server (i.e. CPU/Memory Usage).

If the load is very high, you may encounter such issues. You can update the Hardware or decrease the virtual users
