Afternoon.

This maybe a silly question, but here goes:

Why is eValid a separate browser?

There's got to be some reason for this?

Please explain.

Thanks for posting Charlene.

This is a complex question, but the simple answer is that this architecture gives the user (the tester) FAR better control of the behavior of the browser.

Basically, eValid is a Windows application that includes an IE-compatible browser.

Those of you in the know on this will understand that everthing you see on a windows screen is some form of the Trident Rendering Engine, which is what eValid uses to emulate/duplicate/imitate the behavior of the co-installed IE browser.

Here is the Wikipedia description of Trident:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_(layout_engine)

By putting the control just on the end of the browser, that is, just outside the browser rendering and processing itself, you can record, play, manipulate,
validate, and replicate (for loading, with multiple instances).

Maybe even more important is that this architecture makes the eValid Programmatic Interface possible (actually, relatively easy), as described here:

Every eValid command is basically a passage of C++ code expressed in the EPI.

Hope this helps!
