JMeter Learning Notes---scope rules

The JMeter test tree contains both test elements (listeners, configuration components, post processors, pre-processors, assertions, timers) that follow the layering rules, and test elements (logic controllers, samplers) that follow order rules, while testers create test plans, In effect, a sequential list of sampler requests is created. Follow Layered rule components: If the parent test element is a sampler, it will only take effect on the sampler, if the asserted parent test element is a logical controller, it will take effect for all sub-samplers under that logical controller.

The Configuration components (HTTP header Manager, Cookie Manager, and HTTP Authorization Manager) are handled differently from the default configuration component (the configuration default element). The settings contained by the default configuration symbol are combined into a series of variable values (which the sampler can access), and the settings of the configuration components are not merged. For a sampler, if there are multiple configuration elements within the same scope, only one configuration component will be applied, and there is no way to specify which configuration component will be applied.
