Checking for empty variable using IF controller in jmeter

Sometimes you need to add HTTP samplers with dynamic URL or with dynamic part of the URL which are stored in some variable after HTTP sampler post-processing.



But if Regular Expression Extractor will not find any matching string result variable will be set to default value (empty value in our case). We should test this variable for emptyness before we will use it.


Now if the News page has not any news we are sure that JMeter will handle this situation correctly.
