TestAction: Change its name to make it more meaningful
Hello,
TestAction in JMeter is a very useful element but its name is misleading or
not clear at all.
Currently it allows:
- Pausing
- Stopping Test
- Stopping Test immediately
- Switching to next thread loop iteration
- We'll soon propose a patch to add:
- Switch to next iteration of current loop : : It will be equivalent
of "continue" in the the first parent loop that contains it
- Break current loop : It will break the first parent loop that
contains it, equivalent of "break" in algorithm
When we provide training or discuss with JMeter beginners, TestAction is
usually understood as something to debug or "test", and nobody thinks that
is allows all this.
Shouldn't it be renamed to something like:
- Test Logic Action
- Logical Action
- Test Logical Action
- Test Execution Modifier

"Flow Control Action"?

Most samplers ends with Sampler and none with Action.
And this Sampler *controls* the execution of the test.
I know it's not a controller, but I suggest a name as "Control Sampler" or
" "Execution Control Sampler"

Hi,
"Test" sounds redundant to me. Everything we do in JMeter is a test. So
maybe just "Logical Action"?
