Can eValid trap an erroneous page during playback?

The answer depends on what you mean by an "erroneous page".

As you can imagine, eValid has no ability to judge good and bad. It can only evaluate whether something is true or not true at playback time.

So if you have a page that is NEVER supposed to produce the string XYZXYZ anywhere on the visible text, then eValid's MatchStringNot "XYZXYZ" command will generate an ERROR if that string does show up.

So, yes, eValid can catch erroneous pages provided that you can define what an error is on that page.

There is another kind of error: the page never arrives! That kind of failure is a timeout error, and eValid catches that too because there is a built-in maximum page download time value and if the page never arrives that limit will kick in an an ERROR will be issued.
