Hello.

Happy Fourth of July!

What is the story on resets of eValid's internal variables?

What are the benefits to this method.

Thanks

Thanks for asking your question LDemyan.

All of the internal variables of importance to running a test are automatically reset to their default values at the start of any test.

That's why the recorded test script always has a DeleteCache and DeletCookies command -- but you CAN disable these if you wish, at at your own risk.

The only exception is that non-eValid controlled parametric values may (or DO) change, as in the contents of the Environment Variables, as described here:

Naturally time values will change, as shown here:

The primary directive in regression test is to start at a known state, take a well-defined set of actions, and arrive at a new state.

The content of the new state determines whether or not the test PASSes.

Further to this, given that eValid is primarily used in regression testing and monitoring, the playback logs are also automatically cleared (unless you command them to the in append mode).
