eValid performs all functions needed for detailed WebSite static and dynamic testing, QA/Validation, and load imposition. eValid includes native capabilities that permit it to handle WebSite features that are difficult, awkward, or even impossible with other technical approaches that are based on viewing a website from the Windows OS level. eValid, as a Test Enabled Web Browser(tm), overcomes those limitations and makes all website testing activities very straightforward.

Here is a summary of the main features of eValid, many of which are new in this release:

• Intuitive GUI on the browser to control all functions.
• Recording and playback of user sessions in integrated true-time and object mode.
• Editable recordings/scripts.
• Pause/SingleStep/Resume control to help check out scripts.
• JavaScript and VBScript supported.
• Special advanced features support Java applets.
• Extensive content validation options, including internal HTML document features, selected text fragments, selected images, and all images and applets.
• Built-in event charts, timing charts, performance charts.
• Cache management (you can test without a cache or with an initially empty cache).
• Powerful load generation feature based on multiple sub-browsers.
• Wizards to create scripts to exercise all links on a page, push all buttons on a FORM, and manipulate a FORM's contents.
• Secure zone recording support.
• Spread-sheet ready event file, messages file, errors file and performance files compatible with all popular databases.
• Performance timings to 1 msec resolution.
• Small runtime footprint: ~549 KBytes.

Requirements for Operating eValid Ver. 2.0

Restrictions and Limitations

• Certain pages that use Page Transition Effects will fail to play back accurately. Examples of page transitions that cause problems are "Blend" and "Random Dissolve".
• A mailto: instance is recorded by the test wizards as comments. If you remove the comments eValid will perform the mailto: action but this will require a manual intervention during playback.
• Instances of ftp: are recorded by the wizard as comments. However, you can edit out the comment delimiters and make the ftp: live if desired. If you remove the comments the ftp: will be played back correctly and the download will proceed normally, but may require user interaction.
