General Script Development

[unsigned]

Can you tell me some more about how eValid works in terms
of collecting information about the tests I've run?

Thanks for posting.

eValid has the capability to create a custom subset of the regular
event log data, called a "custom log", by filtering the data with
a user-selected set of options or keywords/strings:

There is a built-in capability to pre-specify values for
parameters in an eValid script, described in detail here:

To have one script run repetitively, after adjusting values of parameters
in your script, you can use the powerful eValid Data Synthesis capability
(this capability works in LoadTest runs also):

The one-page-only static/dynamic simple/advanced linkcheck wizard
generated record/play commands will let you visit pages that branch
(link) from the subject/parent page, in various combinations.

The dynamic/advanced combination will visit all of the links that
exist on the page AT PLAYBACK time. This is useful because a failed
page then causes an ERROR flag to be thrown, and on the basis of
an ERROR flag eValid can take alternative action, as described here:

The eValid string substitution facility -- used in both functional
testing AND in server load creation -- is described here:

Here's a diagram of this process:

eValid has special commands to allow manipulation and motion
inside a web page, to capture certain special kinds of effects:

eValid has special commands that can be used to achieve playback
synchronization based on internal properties of pages, a capability
that is essential in certain AJAX implementations:
