I will list the user steps to see if that is clearer: 1. User right clicks on thread group (or has one selected, or any sub-part, and clicks "validate user" button) 2. A new window appears containing a View Results Tree with the name "<thread group> - Validate User" and the user can watch the thread run - this window also displays the properties such as # of threads, iterations, pause enabled/disabled. 3. As items are clicked in validate view results tree the corresponding item in the main window is selected.
This can be further refined but this should make the validate feature far more intuitive, efficient and useful. A potentially simpler, but slightly less efficient UX, #2:Existing View Results Tree is selected, or add to the Test Plan and then select. Does that make sense? If not I can do a mock-up.
