Today compared to other commercial load test tools, it may not be obvious to users how to: - Record - validate - Load Test This issue is to tackle the item and see what can be proposed. For example: - Maybe the recorder should be here by default and not deletable and a record button could then be added as a menu - Also, why not always have by default a View Results Tree that is used for Debugging a script - And finally, since a Thread Group is the mandatory component to add Test items, it should be here by default
Probably your ideas are (very) good. But It's would be better to discuss them on dev list and not bugzilla.
