JMeter – HTML Assertion
HTML Assertion is a rarely used assertion component in JMeter script that emphasizes web layout accuracy and tag validation. The HTML assertion uses JTidy, an HTML syntax-checking tool, to parse the web page returned in the response, and then returns a pass or fail result. The number of errors and warnings is shown in the output if the statement is false.
