WCF receiving requests from multiple clients

I have written a WCF service that received XML requests from multiple clients, Process the request, save data to database and returned the response back as xml string. All client applications will make a synchronous call to WCF Service ( will send request and wait for response, once the response is received send next request).

End point details : binding : basicHttpBinding Operation Contract :

[OperationContract]
string ReceiveMessage(string xmlString)

Connection Through : Channel Factory

I want to do the load test for this WCF service, to make sure if it handles requests from multiple clients and process successfully without any bottleneck. Do I need to set service behavior (Instance mode and concurrency mode) to receive requests from multiple clients. if yes please suggest the correct configuration ?

Per call per session

Thanks

The default WCF instance & concurrency are exactly what you need 99% of the time, especially if you're hosting the service in IIS. There are a few edge case where it might be worth changing the default values (singleton & service controlled multithreading) but generally just save yourself some gray hairs and use the defaults.

If you really want to understand what these two settings do, read this old but still good MSDN article on the topics. Did I mention you want to leave the default setting alone? :-)
