Performance Numbers

I have test case with the following steps -

DataSource [to read input from file]
SOAP Call [make the call for which we want performance numbers]
Property Transfer [for logging purpose, as currently I donno how else to get request/response in table log]

These steps takes different amount of time. So my question is when LoadUI shows a response time, is it the total of these steps? If so, is there a way to measure just the SOAP call response time, as that's what we really wanna measure. Dont want it to be skewed by file read/property transfer step execution time.

    You will be interested in setting number 2 here.

    Setting 6 in the same place outputs all TestCase properties to the outgoing wire message. This option will be enabled by default in loadUI 2.0.

    Does this help?

    First of all, thanks for that information.

    But, in my opinion, in ideal situation I shouldn't be required to set up property transfer steps to capture input/output for a run for debugging purpose. Option 6 only helps if I setup test case properties, capture input/output in those via property transfer. And I'm trying to avoid it all together, as it has no value addition to load testing other than debugging.


    Just ran a quick load test with option 2 set to 'TestCase and RequestTestSteps'. It does show the number in table log, but not in report or graph. So basically when I have to send a report about my load testing, still it'll show skewed numbers.
