I have several samplers in a thread group, each retrieving a piece of information. I then need to validate the consistency of the results from two different samplers. In particular I need to assert whether a field in one sampler response equals a field in the JDBC response. What is the best way to do something like that?
I have thought about adding a beanshell postprocessor to each sampler in order to extract the field value from each sample and save it in two variables and then adding a beanshell assertion that accesses those variables, but I wonder if there is a more direct approach.
In the JMeter API documentation I could not see anything to access another sampler response other than the previous one.
