One way you can do this is create a switch controller with 4 children as simple controllers. The first child (the first simple controller under the switch controller) contains all four steps of your test 1) Searching, 2) Adding to Cart, 3)Checking out 4) Purchase. The second child only contains steps 1) to 2). The third child contains steps 1) to 3). The fourth child contains only step 1). For the switch controller, set the switch value to a variable read from a CSV file. Have 100 entries on the file with numbers 0,1,2,3. Choose the proportion of 0,1,2,3's according to your needs and have jmeter recycle at EOF. This way you will have the exact percentage of users you need to abandon on each step. For instance, a 0 would mean the user completes all 4 steps, a 1 would mean the user abandons before Checking out, etc.

The flow is a user making a purchase on a web site. So it includes 1) Searching, 2) Adding to cart, 3) Checking out, 4) Purchase. To be more realistic, I want to add abandonment rates. So I want to add something that would stop the iteration at either steps 1, 2, or 3. And this should be weighted so more people would abandon at step 3 vs step 1. What's the best way to do this? Do I add an IF statement before each step and then based on a percentage, either perform the action or not?
