Only monitor the Request Step (from SoapUI)

Hey guys

I have set up a TestCase in SoapUI which contains 3 steps.

1. Properties
2. XML Generator (Groovy Script)
3. Request

The idea here is, the XML generator will generate a XML string that the Request will then send to the Soap service. The Generator can take anywhere from a few ms to X seconds to generate a string.

When I run the test case within SoapUI I can see how much time is spent on each step and so can confidently see the actual cost of the request (response time etc) as it doesnt include the time taken in the previous step (1 and 2).

In LoadUI, when I run the test case, the time taken seems to be including the time taken for all steps combined.

Is there a way to tell LoadUI to only monitor the time taken to execute the actual request, step 3, and not any of the other steps?

Its just happens that the time to generate the XML is in some cases taken 20 seconds to generate which seems to be affecting my results. All I want to monitor (as SoapUI is able to do) is my Request step response time.
  • Hi,

    I've answered your identical question in the loadUI forum. I'm locking this topic for redundancy reasons.
