Thanks for writing.

The issue of testing chat depends on the specific way the page
is implemented, so having access to a sample is going to be critical.

Getting communication going between TWO eValid's is easy enough,
but you have to be rather careful. If you assign different
test script names you can run two eValid instances and record
from them simultaneously. However, there is no inter-scrip
coordination mechanism other than what you build in.

Each of the two scripts has to send a message [wait for
a message] and then wait for a response [send a message].

Once that's done, the first script (the one that sends
a message and then waits for a response) should then first
use the System command to launch the second eValid playback
using the batch interface.

So, structurally this works out fine, but the fine details
depend on the way the chat is implemented. Most of the time
that's inside the browser, but there are lots of ways
that can be done...so it is VERY important to have access
to a actual example, the script you've tried, and the resulting
event log.

So, we're waiting for your team on this.
