For testing scripts, you can also use the JavaTest JavaSampler to produce
samples with any desired values in the sample fields. Might be useful for
testing your regex.
For checking variables, I do much the same as Mike suggested, except I
change the JavaTest Label to something like:
var1=${VAR1} var2=${VAR2} thread-${__threadNum}
which then appears in an Assertion Results Listener.
[If the SamplerData field is populated, that appears instead of the Label in
Assertion Results]
Or you can use View Results in Table - this shows the Label in the URL
column.
There's more than one way to do it!
As to the regex, I agree with Mike, I think you need to move the
parentheses.
- (\d) will return a single digit
- (\d+) returns as many digits as there are in sequence.

Subject: Re: using the regular expression extractor to obtain a form
value
You could name your sampler something like:
sampler_${questionID}
Then, in the View Results Tree, the name of the sampler appears, and you can
see
what questionID got set to. I would recommend making your default value
something
more obvious, like "failed!"
Also, shouldn't your regex look like this:
input value="(\d{1,3})" name="questionID"
I'm not positive about that as I'm not an expert on regexes, it's just
something I noticed
about it - that maybe the whole value needs to be in the parentheses? I
know when I
do .*, I use (.*) rather than (.)*, which seems analogous.
