How To Ignore and error in Visual Studio WebTests

I'm using Visual Studio to record some web tests. I'd like the test to pass (obviously), but it is failing because of something out of our control - so I'd like to surpress that failure.

One of our pages is using an API from a third party like say, let's pick on, facebook. (It's not facebook, but for sake of argument it is). Let开发者_如何学C's say that we're using the facebook open-graph api to do something or other, and one of their 1px gif files is not found because one of their developers made a typo in the filename. They don't know it's not found, and the API works perfectly with that request erroring out. I want to surpress the error in the web test upon loading mysite.com/index.aspx because it's an inconsequential error.

Thanks!

Just turn off the propety called "Analyze dependant request" for that specific request in your web test. Not shure for of the property name, I got the french version of 2010.

In English VS 2010 it is "Parse Dependent Requests"

the problem with turning off the "Parse Dependant Requests" is that the page doesn't actually call them either. In a page that has many images you can clearly see that there is a significant difference in the response time of the page when you have dependant requests on or off.
