Jmeter Assertion | assertion example - jmeter - jmeter tutorial
What is Jmeter Assertion?
- Assertion in JMeter is used to validate response of the request, that you have sent to the server.
- Assertion is a process where you verify expected result with the actual result of the request at run time.
- If you need to apply assertion on a particular Sampler, then add it as a child of that Sampler.
- You can view assertion results by adding “Assertion Listener” to the Thread Group.
- Failed assertions will be displayed in other listeners as well.
- List of Assertions are as follows:
- BeanShell Assertion
- BSF Assertion
- Compare Assertion
- Duration Assertion
- HTML Assertion
- JSR223 Assertion
- MD5Hex Assertion
- Response Assertion
- Size Assertion
- SMIME Assertion
- XML Assertion
- XML Schema Assertion
- XPath Assertion
- Some common types of Assertions:
1. Response Assertion:
- Response Assertion can be used to add and compare pattern strings against one or many values of server response.
- For Example, when you send a request to the URL: https://www.google.com and get the server response.
- Here, you can verify this response by using Response Assertion.
- You can insert “
Google ” as a “Pattern to Test” field value in Response Assertion. - If response doesn’t contain this string, it will fail the sampler.
- Add the pattern string according to your expected response.
2. Size Assertion:
- Size Assertion is used to verify the server response contains expected number of Bytes or not.
- Select Response Size Field to Test
- Enter expected response size in bytes
- Choose type of comparison

3. Duration Assertion:
- Duration Assertion is used to verify that server response is received within a specified time constraint or not.
- It will mark the sample request as failed and if response takes longer time duration than the given amount of time.
- Enter duration period of response in milliseconds
4. XML Assertion:
- XML Assertion is used to verify that the server response data comprises of a correct XML document or not.
5. HTML Assertion:
- HTML Assertion is used to verify that the response contains correct HTML syntax or not using JTidy (HTML Syntax Checker). It will fail the test in case of improper HTML syntax response.
