Using eValid to test an email system similar to Gmail

Postby VenitaW » Fri Sep 23, 2016 2:43 pm

Afternoon.

I have to test a proprietary email system that is a lot like Gmail.

Have you got any examples of eValid testing the Gmail application that might help me?

Thanks

Thanks for asking VenitaW.

Yes, here is an example done on the Gmail system

As you can see, the Gmail application is very strong AJAX and you have to rely on a lot of tricks to get the script to work reliably.

One thing that is important to note is that when the page is actually created the same structural relationships generally exist between elements.

That is, if you need to click at a location that is sourceIndex + 3, then that location is constant even when the rest of the content fails.

(This is a location offset that is dictates the page structure.)

This is due to the the programmatic nature of the page generator.

The only downside is that if the page generator algorithm changes then you may need to adjust that constant offset value.
