Hmm. I can try that. Is there a way to stop the iteration in a beanshell post processor? I'm thinking of doing the following: 1) Have percentages set as user defined variables a) AbandonAfterSearch = 10% b) AbandonAfterAddingToCart = 10% c) AbandonAfterCheckout = 20% These don't have to add up to 100% and are mutually exclusive. 2) Add a beanshell post processor in each sampler. In it, generate a random number and compare it to the Abandon rate from step 1. If it's lower, then continue execution. Otherwise, stop the iteration.
I read an old thread (http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/BeanShell-Assertion-Can-a-failed-assertion-force-the-next-iteration-of-a-loop-td533789.html) which says something like this may not work.
