Jmeter assertion priority

Are the assertions in JMeter, executed/checked on the basis of the order of occurrence or randomly ?

I am having two (or more) assertions to all of my HTTP requests, one of them is always a response assertion checking the response code. Other one being more detailed BSF Assertion. If my response code assertion fails I don't care if the other assertion passes or fails, so I don't want it to be executed/checked.

Any suggestions for the same ?

Solution

  • Assertions are executed upside down. So if you put BSF Assertion under Response Assertion and populate it as follows:

    if (SampleResult.isSuccessful()){
    //your extended assertion logic here
}

    extended BSF Assertion will be fired only if the following conditions are met:

    • Parent sample success
    • Response assertion success

    If the any of condition fails only first line of the extended BSF Assertion will be executed.
