Getting the milliseconds between 2 TestSteps

I am trying to check the performance of a deploy API.   I am using these steps to get the time it takes to deploy.    -Start Time ([Groovy Script] This sets a custom property with the current tim...

    That is the closest to what I've actually done.

     

    for every loop I write the times in a custom property with an iteration in the property name (StartTime1, EndTime1)

    The last step of the TC is a groovy script that logs all of the start and end time into a single text file which I import in Excel to parse and get results.

     

    I was hoping for soapui to get the final answer for this test but after all that research and the suggestions here, I think that only excel can offer me the answer I seek.

     

    Thanks to you two for the help.

Even if there are no steps for getting start and end times, SoapUi collects or show time taken. Isn't it?

You can see below how much time spend for each and step and cumulative.

If you want the value, access it in TearDown script as shown below.

This would not work. The API starts the job and I need to know how much time it took to complete without the time of the other steps.

I also need to run that at least 10 times to test the performance.

    Klaael :

     

    i would suggest that you would use any performance testing tool, if you want to do this via SoapUI, then you implement following structure:

     

    1. add Groovy Script before your Test Step

    2. write the start time into Properties Step with iteration number(as you want to run multiple times)

    3. add script assertion in your test step and write the time in Properties step with iteration number

    4. at the end calculate the time difference.

    You try load test which shows time

        It seemed that it has not tried what was suggested which gives out of the box.
        The way it was shown in the attached screen shot of previous response shows the time take for each step.
        And load test step would show time take for each step.
