Is there a success/fail variable I can use in the SMTP Sampler that states whether or not a test was successful or had failures?
If there's not, what would be the best way to display that information in an email?
JMeter has some pre-defined properties and among them:
JMeterThread.last_sample_ok - whether or not the last sample was OK - true/false. Note: this is updated after PostProcessors and Assertions have been run.
Example use case:
In above situation given !${JMeterThread.last_sample_ok} If Controller condition, "SMTP Sampler" will be executed only if "Some Sampler" fails.

In my Test Plan , i have multiple transactions(not related). Is there a way to stop just the current transaction only on a sampler error. If I use the setting to stop thread/ continue next thread , it just drops the thread for each transactions, which is not very helpful for what i want to achieve. Any help please. Thanks
What do you mean by "transaction"?
"Sample error" can be caught by If Controller using ${JMeterThread.last_sample_ok} pre-defined variable as the condition and from there you can:
Add Flow Control Action sampler and use one of below 3 actions:
Or add a Module Controller pointing to a Test Fragment holding the actions which you would like to execute on Sampler's error. See Easily Write a GOTO Statement in JMeter article for more details.
I have made a TestPlan in JMeter. I want to test a failure scenario i.e. the test should pass if failure happens. How can I do this in JMeter?
I have added a Thread group, a configuration, an httprequest and a tree listener.
When I run the test (send a signin request of an invalid user), I get ab error from server (200 OK with error message as message body).
I can't find where (and how) I should check the response. Is it in Listeners?
The JMeter builtin solution is Assertions
Assertions are used to perform additional checks on samplers, and are processed after every sampler in the same scope. To ensure that an Assertion is applied only to a particular sampler, add it as a child of the sampler.
In a general case, Response Assertion with your expected text/regex
response assertion control panel lets you add pattern strings to be compared against various fields of the request or response. The pattern strings are:
Contains, Matches: Perl5-style regular expressions
Equals, Substring: plain text, case-sensitive
You also have more specific assertions as JSON Assertion
component allows you to perform validations of JSON documents
JMeter provides Assertions so you can conditionally fail the request if it doesn't contain the data you expect to be there and contains the data which should not be there.
For example this configuration checks the response for absence of error line:

I just did a quick test to run jmeter using Ant. I see an html report that shows success rate based on HTTP status codes:
Ant Jmeter Report
Is it possible to do anything so that say, requests that take more than 1 second are considered as failures too?
So in short I want the report to show failure when the HTTP code is not 2XX and also when response time greater than say 1 sec
Thanks!
In order to check HTTP Status code being 2xx add a Response Assertion to the Sampler(s) which you want to have checked (JMeter Assertions respect JMeter Scoping Rules) and configure it like:
In order to conditionally fail requests which take longer than 1 second add Duration Assertion (the same Scoping Rules apply) and configure it like:
Check out How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps article to learn more how you can conditionally mark JMeter samplers as passed/failed using Assertions.
Add to your test Duration Assertion
with value of 1000
(Milliseconds)
Duration in Milliseconds
The maximum number of milliseconds each response is allowed before being marked as failed.
As you can see on screens, when I try to use just "Debug Sampler" I get "Authorization" issue in other sampler. But when I use "Debug PostProcessor" all looks fine. Who can describe first behavior? Thanks a lot!

If you put Debug Sampler than according to scoping rules
Other elements are hierarchical. An Assertion, for instance, is hierarchical in the test tree. If its parent is a request, then it is applied to that request. If its parent is a Controller, then it affects all requests that are descendants of that Controller. In the following test tree:
Pre Processors are same as Assertion example,
all Pre Processors are processed before Sampler (e.g. Debug).
When you put Debug PostProcessor, it doesn't trigger any other elements and therefore in your case access_token and token_type, which are pre processors , execute only when you add Debug Sampler and generate an error because it recreate token when you not expected it.
You can move pre processors under Authorization request so it will be executed only before it
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.
I posted the same question on the Jmeter user mailing list and from the feedback I got it seems that indeed it is not possible to access the result of another sampler than the previous one.
The answer is then to save each sampler response in a variable via a postprocessor so that it can be used later.
