newbie? Response Assertions not finding Flash elements and data-driven text

[Shirley Keddy <SK...@edutech.org>]

I'm a new user to JMeter and haven't yet been able to pull together
enough information about how to use JMeter in order to automate our
website use case tests. Oh, and I'm not a programmer - I can read
ColdFusion code and understand it however have difficulty creating it.
(Thankfully, I have top notch programmers on the team.)
 
I have used BadBoy software to create the walk-through of a use case
and then exported it to JMeter. Then I go through and add both a
Response Assertions (searching for particular text on that page) and an
Assertion Result to each HTTP Request .
 
Where I'm running into difficulty is that many of our pages consist of
either a Flash graphical menu or a data pulled from the database. And
the Assertion Result is not picking up those elements. Is there another
type of Assertion I should be using? Or are there suggestions on how to
setup the Assertion in order to find those elements?
 
Thanks in advance
Shirley

I don't think Response Assertions are capable of working INSIDE flash 
code -- Response Assertions are designed for textual data, and this 
flash files are, AFAIK, radically binary.

As for the data pulled from the database, as far as it is retrieved from 
the server using an HTTP request and it is in some form of textual 
format, you should be able to use Response Assertions on it. It can 
happen, however, that BadBoy (sorry I'm not familiar with it) is not 
creating the corresponding HTTP Samplers -- you may need to create them 
manually or use JMeter's HTTP Proxy instead.

Salut,

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I usually insert Assertion Results listenr
under each thread instead of each HTTP sampler. I still have Response
Assertion under each HTTP sampler though...
