Hi Mike,

Can you give me an idea of what is the intent behind the Functional Mode
testing checkbox on the front page?


This was my plan for a quick and dirty functional test:
We have a Staging environment and a production environment for our app.
When we make a new release of our app I would like to capture and compare
the html responses of running a test script with the new version of the app
on the Staging Environment and the old version still in Production.
Then I would compare the 2 versions of html and make sure that nothing
changed that was not expected to change.
Of course I have to ignore Referrer Headers values and time-stamps and
various cookies that are different on the different servers.

When I tried using this mode I did find the html within <binary> tags in the
log file.
It looks like it might work as a quick and dirty way to compare.

Perhaps it might be worth building in some additional support for this kind
of testing into jMeter? For example store html cleaned of timestamps in a
file separate from the log file (or jtl file)
I might be willing to do this if others would find it useful. Also any ideas
of how to make it more useful and general are appreciated

What do you think?

Andy
