What about SalesForce? Does your stuff do it's magic there?

As you may know, SalesForce is one of the earliest of the Software As A Service (SAAS) offings. It is implemented entirely as a service supported through a browser. The JavaScript that is used in their application is among the most sophisticated we have seen on the web.
Its complexity typically makes it quite hard to test. In paraticular, because it is entirely an AJAX application, normal recordings that rely in part for wait times to keep the test playback synchronized often fail because the application is "too slow" at playback time. Add to that the fact that the application software is updated very frequently, so that the internal DOM-oriented location (but not the visual location) of objects changes around quite frequently.
In most cases tests of SalesForce applications need to be augmented with structural commands at least to obtain reliable sychronization and possibly to account for structual change in the application.
But in answer to the underlying question, can eValid do the testing for SalesForce, the answer is YES!
Here is a YouTube Movie for you that shows eValid Running a SalesForce Demo at Full Speed. See for yourself how well eValid does.
