Exclude Certain Steps from LoadTest Statistical Calculation in SoapUI Pro

We have a mix of JDBC and service request steps in our test cases. I was wondering if we can have the statistical numbers only include the service requests so it won't affect TPS (transaction per second), and have JDBC steps excluded? We would still wish to run the JDBC to validate the assertions in the service request steps but just not include them as a part of the statistical calculation.

 

Is there a way to accomplish this?

    Are you running the load test from SoapUI NG? Disabling the step temporarily and enable it later while doing functional tests works?

      No, we are running the load test in SoapUI Pro.

       

      And, yes, we can temporarily disable JDBC steps and run the services, but there are two issues with that approach:

       

      1. There are a few dozen JDBC steps for some of these test cases. Enabling and disabling them is a daunting process which should be avoided.
      2. There are a few hundred assertions that depend on responses coming back from JDBC steps. Disabling the latter steps would result in stream of these failed assertions.

       

      I just need the load test calculation to ignore certain steps if possible and not to take them into consideration.

        On the whole if you can disable the jdbc steps it is enough. If step is disabled, then there is no question of assertion associated to it, right?
