I don't think there's an easy (*) way to do this at present, though it would not be too hard to add a fail counter to each thread, and a counter for the thread group as well.
The ThreadGroup test element could then be extended to include maximum thread and/or test failure counts. Is that the sort of thing you'ld like to see? == (*) I think it is possible to use the BeanShell Assertion to do what you want: The assertion itself can either be checked by the script, or the script can check the Failure variable to see if previous assertion(s) have marked the sample as failed. If it has failed, then increment a counter. If the counter exceeds a value, then stop the thread or the test, using the Response object as follows: Response.setStopThread(true) or Response.setStopTest(true) The counter can be kept in a property (which will be global to the test), as can the threshold value. jmeter.properties can be editted to set "beanshell.assertion.init" to a file that contains startup code. For example BeanShellSampler.bshrc could be amended and used - it contains methods to get and set properties. Be careful to choose a property name that is not used elsewhere. S.
