Scope: Assertion Results Listener can be added at any level is sampler level, transaction level, thread level or test plan level. The assertion result will be displayed as per the scope only. If the assertion result listener is added under a sampler then it will show the pass or fail status of that particular sampler only. If it is added under a transaction level then it will show the assertion status of all the samplers under that particular transaction controller.
Use: It is basically used for debugging purposes during script creation.
