I don't think this jmeter is going to be a lot of use to you. Maybe for DB load, but there are better alternatives. For WPF testing, why wouldn't you be using MS tools for your automation? -Original Message- From: Amit Kumar [mailto:amit.sr...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 10 April 2013

Hi, I am wondering if and how it is possible to exclude the results of a specific sample (or at least disregard it) from the results. We have a dual stripe system which can be tested in online or offline mode. To automate the decision we can request a status page, and act on the results. Not

First solve your out of memory issues, then you may be able to load a large file into memory. Most common cause of memory issues in gui are listeners, particularly results tree. Try only recording errors if you need it at all. Gui is intended for testing your tests, rather than doing your loa
