Can eValid monitor a desktop application?
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:52 pmCan eValid monitor a desktop application as well as a web application? What are the constraints on this?
Yes, eValid can monitor Windows applications.
The "trick" is to launch the windows application using an eValid SystemCall command in the eValid script, and then use the "application mode" of recording and playback operation applies.
One constraint for this kind of operation is that there is only one desktop so you have to serialize its use in this mode...
You do this to prevent two monitoring sessions to step on each other, that is, to interfer in an incorrect way.
But given this limit, all of the other kinds of operations in eValid are available, will all of the EventLog data and SaveData outputs the same as for a web application.
