I am using Jmeter for functional testing and not just for load testing.
All the examples that I see for reports are for load testing, and I do not see how it is effective for functional, I do not care speed of response latency and so on.
I care about sampler response, is http get 200 OK, is the assertion succeed or not
the response message that I write, the JDBC response with my response message.
Is their a way to use Jmeter reports to see al that?
I have a test plan with 50 tests, is their any example of how it should look like in reports?
Once again not care for this test from performance or load at all, just functional, Is their any guide since all the info I see its about performance and not functional
You should look into Jmeter+ant integration. You can run .jmx files using Ant and generate HTML report. The HTML report gives the success and failure rate and response message as well.
Steps to run JMeter .jmx with Ant:
Install Apache Ant and the installation should be in your path.
Copy your .jmx file into your apache JMeter's /extras folder and replace existing Test.jmx file your own.
Type the command ant.
Ant will generate the .jtl and .html file with the same name as your .jmx file.
If you want to run the tests using continuous integration and Jenkins. Please follow the below nice blog.
http://www.testautomationguru.com/jmeter-continuous-performance-testing-part1/
You should check the
for example for each listener you can click Configure and choose Save Configuration, in your case you can check only
Save Success - if it succeeded or failed
Save Field Names (CSV) - header line
Save Label - to know which request succeeded or failed
if no checkbox is checked you will get an empty lines for each sampler
You will get results as
label,success
HTTP Request,true
HTTP Request,true
HTTP Request2,false
HTTP Request2,false
You can precisely control what is being saved into .jtl results file by using dedicated JMeter Properties which names start from jmeter.save.saveservice
Example configuration will look like
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes=true
#etc.
This way you will get a .jtl results file in .XML format which can be examined using View Results Tree listener.
You can also view this .jtl file directly in browser, however you will need to add one line to it in order to specify the desired XSL stylesheet to it like:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\apache-jmeter-3.3\extras\jmeter-results-report_21.xsl"?>

I am using Apache JMeter 5.4.1 to record a manual test script (to be automated later) on a web application.
I need the response data logs which are recorded in the View Results Tree for debugging purposes.
I don't want to run the script before debugging, because I need to parameterize the dynamic data which changes every run thus, I need to capture them using the response data.
The problem is, I need to save the file and continue later sometimes, and when I open the file and load the .jtl file into the View Results Tree, the response data doesn't show up. Like it never existed. I can still see the results but when I click on them I see "No Data".
What causes this strange phenomenon, and how can I work around this? Thank you!
By default JMeter doesn't save response data, if you're using View Results Tree listener in GUI mode you need to additionally instruct it to save the results as XML and explicitly tell it to store response data, example setup:
If you're running the test in command-line non-GUI mode - amend Results File Configuration in user.properties file to look like:
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.url=true

I have made these settings in my jmeter.properties file to save my response data when there is a failure
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=false
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
So with these settings i was able to save the responses and view them using jtl file after i run the script from non gui
But the problem is with this setting jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml i am unable to generate html report
I wanted to generate html report with response body..can someone please help me out
As of JMeter 5.3 you cannot generate HTML reporting dashboard from .jtl files in XML format, according to the documentation:
The dashboard generator is a modular extension of JMeter. Its default behavior is to read and process samples from CSV files to generate HTML files containing graph views. It can generate the report at end of a load test or on demand.
The easiest way of getting the response data into the HTML reporting dashboard is artificially failing the sampler(s) via JSR223 Assertion and setting assertion failure message to be current sampler's response data, example code:
AssertionResult.setFailure(true)
AssertionResult.setFailureMessage(prev.getResponseDataAsString())
You will be able to get something like:
If this solution is not acceptable you can amend the report-template to represent whatever you want (the knowledge of Java and Freemarker will be required)
I am trying to get the HTML report from my JMeter test plan. Unfortunately, below error is shown always.
File '/Users/roradhak/Cisco/GET/PPS-Proxy-Performance/Graph2_CSV.csv' does not contain the field names header, ensure the jmeter.save.saveservice.* properties are the same as when the CSV file was created or the file may be read incorrectly
In fact, I tried to do all the settings changes as explained in Jmeter 3.0 can't generate the ANT HTML report and in other links also. Can someone please put some light into this?
You need to make sure you have at least the following line in user.properties file:
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
The first line of your .jtl results file needs to be like:
timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,dataType,success,failureMessage,bytes,sentBytes,grpThreads,allThreads,Latency,IdleTime,Connect
If you have different output - kindly amend JMeter configuration to match the one, described in the Generating Report Dashboard article.

I was testing a blog but I didn't get any output not even for just 2 threads. Please help in this. Sharing the image with you:
You have 555 value int Bytes column - so some output should be present.
If you run your test in non-GUI mode (hope you do) you can configure JMeter to store response body on error.
Add the next 2 lines to user.properties file (it's located in JMeter's "bin" folder)
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up
When your test is over:
Open JMeter GUI
Add View Results Tree listener
Using "Browse" button locate .jtl results file and open it
Analyze response message and body.
I'd like JMeter to save requests/responses to XML file ONLY if the request failed. All passed request should not be logged. How can I do that?
In order to store response data for failed requests all you need is just to add the next 2 lines to user.properties file (lives under "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
In regards to saving requests, I'm afraid you have only 2 choices:
save all requests (no matter of pass/fail status)
save nothing
Theoretically it can be worked around using scripting-enabled test elements like Beanshell Listener in combination with Sample Variables or patching JMeter source code, but there is no out-the-box flag to trigger conditional storing of request data.
