JMeter - Assertion - "XML Schema Assertion"

As discussed in the earlier post XML Assertion is a generic assertion element which is mainly used to validate the format of XML embedded in the response. When we have a requirement to validate the specific XML response then XML Schema Assertion is used. In this type of assertion, we can provide the XML Schema file (along with path) which needs to be compared with the actual response. When the response is matched with the schema then the sampler is passed else failed with an error.
