Hi Deepak, Thanks for your quick answer.
This is a simple test that opens the main page (mainPortal). Manually I open the portal with a url: http://localhost:8080/mainPortal/ui.html. When it opens I can see some Titles, Graphs, Totals, Buttons. What would be "good assertions" in this case? BTW, I am not the programmer of this development. I do know my way around Java. I research a bit more and this is a GWT development and when I recorded the above url I get (among many other things) these 3: url 1 looks like: /mainPortal/ui.html url 2 looks like: /mainPortal/com.mycompnay.swt.mymodule.ui.nocache.js url 3 looks like: /mainPortal/B895E5E418BB75D0FA2FC15B392635C3.cache.html After I added the View Results Tree as you suggested I found that the Response Data tab, for the *.nocache.js url, shows a string like this: "...wb='B895E5E418BB75D0FA2FC15B392635C3.cache.html'" which is part of the url 3. Do you know a link that explains how can I extract this string using a post-processor and regex/xpath extractor? Is the post processor a child of the second http request?
