User Forum Posts

Beginning in mid-2010 we have directed all technical support questions to the eValid User Forum. We have learned that when one user has an issue, all users can profit from the answer.

Here is an additional selection of some of the posts that we think would be of general interest.

• The Comparative Level of Effort of eValid Recording... -- Discusses the relative level of effort of using eValid versus other kinds of technical approaches.
• Comparing An Actual Value At Some DOM Element -- Explains how to compare an actual value in a page by reading and manipulating the current contents of the DOM.
• eValid Faithfully Emulates An IE Browser -- Discusses how we made sure that eValid was as close to IE behavior as possible.
• Can eValid Test An Application That Involves Two Browsers? -- Describes conditions under which two [or more] eValid instances can operate at the same time, in combinations of record AND playback.
• DOM Values -- How to use eValid commands to extract, save, and insert DOM values from one test context to another.
• Wht is your structural testing really good at? -- Describes when the structural testing methods are needed, and how effective they are.
• About "SyncOnText" -- Describes how eValid AJAX synchronization logic works, and what the overhead is likely to be when you are waiting for a DOM feature to synchronize AJAX activity.
• Query Strings -- Explains how to deal with URLs that have complex query string (client side parameters).
• A Different IP Address -- Details on when eValid can "spoof" being on a different IP address.
