High response times if using testrunner/loadtestrunner

Hi all,

we try to run performance tests on a (SOAP) Webservice. Therefore we call the testrunner on each test by using the commandline. We noticed that the value for the "Time Taken" line in the report file differs from the time that is displayed when running the test from within the UI. The same behavior occurs for load tests when using the loadtestrunner tool or the UI integrated loadtest runner.

Example:
Response time for a (load/)test that is executed using soapUI (3.6) is about 100ms
Response time for the same (load/)test that is executed using the (load)testrunner is about 2500ms
The test consists of a single request with no assertions.

Does anyone know why the response times vary significantly?

regards

    Is it your testCase time that has increased or also the request time?

    In case of the loadtest, both the request as well as the testcase time increased and both are the same value.
    In case of the test, i don't get any request times written to the report. But since all tests consist of a single unchecked request, i excpect that only the request's response time is reported and nothing else.
