Assertions check whether a sampler's response actually meets an expected condition, marking the sample as a failure if it doesn't - even if the server itself returned a technically successful HTTP status code.
Common types include the Response Assertion (checking response content for specific text or patterns), the Duration Assertion (failing if response time exceeds a threshold), and the Size Assertion (checking response size).

Assertions can mark a sample as failed even if:
A Duration Assertion specifically checks:
