> additional conversion can be a source of bugs Converting from the source xml (jmx) to DSL objects in Ruby could possibly be a source of bugs. Using XML as an IDL seemed like the simplest way to bridge two different components (Java & Ruby) at the time -- especially as I wrote the original gem at a code camp / weekend .. There might be smarter ways to do it the next time around. I think DSLs should favour options/styles of the language they are written, and ideally be made available in different languages - much the same as webdriver has evolved. Perhaps what's missing is an API to drive JMeter itself. The GUI is not so relevant for me anymore but I probably get more practice writing and supporting tests written using the DSL for flood than is the norm. ViewResultsTree is hard to replace without some other form of proxy to debug your DSL specs. I have been meaning to contribute a headless plugin along those lines that helps debug request/response pairs etc .. Regards, Tim Koopmans [image: Flood IO Pty Ltd] <https://flood.io>
