JMeter assertion failure - jmeter

Question

I am new to JMeter and the assertion concepts. I am encountering this error message when I attempted to execute a JMX file, containing assertions in JMeter:
Assertion error: false
Assertion failure: true
Assertion Failure Message: Test Failed: Variable(search result) not to equal /
received: NOT FOUND [[[[]]]]
comparison: NOT FOUND [[[[]]]]
The script is executed this way:
$java -jar ./apache-jmeter-2.10/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar -t ./jmeter-master/test.jmx -Jhost=myhost.com -Joutput_suffix=localtest
I have attempted to drop the contents of database table in MySQL, repopulate them, and re-execute the jmx file. However, it is still failing with the same error message above.
The jmeter.log indicates only the following information below:

Can anyone please provide pointers on troubleshooting this error?
Thank you so much,

The log said OutOfMemoryError.
You could try first with increase the memory like:
$java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar ./apache-jmeter-2.10/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar -t ./jmeter-master/test.jmx -Jhost=myhost.com -Joutput_suffix=localtest
