Background
This page describes how eValid can be used to test AJAX implemented applications built with the Google Web Tool Kit (GWT).

The application of eValid is illustrated by recorded scripts that apply to one of the GWT demonstration examples called the Kitchen Sink Demo. The "kitchen sink" demo includes a sampling of the widgets that are handled by the GWT approach.

Playing the Example Scripts
You can view each script and from that page cut and paste the script text into your eValid script window. Or, you can download the script file and save it on your machine as a *.evs file. All scripts are recorded with AUTOPLAY script license token so they will play back on any eValid copy without need for a current license. (Be careful NOT to modify the scripts or you will invalidate the AUTOPLAY script license token.) To run correctly you must be using eValid V6 #182 or later.

• Script #1: Page Walk Through With Text Validation
  This script:
  • Traverses through the pages of the "kitchen sink" example page and visits each selection: Buttons, Menus, Images, Layouts, Lists, Popups, Tables, Text , Trees, Frames, Tabs, and then back to the starting menu.
  • For each page the script validates some text on the page to confirm that the page was correctly visited.

• Script #2: Manipulation of Tree Section Including Validation
  This script:
  • Manipulates the tree section
  • Expands each part of the tree
  • Validates selections in most of the branches.
  • Illustrates Adaptive Playback appearing when an object internal index has changed position. (We introduced this error artifically by manually modifying one of the script's window index values.)

• Script #3: Client-Side Process Validation
  This script:
  • Manipulates the text section of the example.
  • Types information into all of the types of text entry boxes.
  • Validates that the typed-in data shows up on the page.
  • Deletes some of the data stored internally.
  • Validates that the modified data shown on the screen correctly includes the changes.
