Use eValid as a debugging tool

Postby FOverton » Wed Sep 21, 2016 11:26 am

Afternoon.

Can eValid be used a debugging tool?

If so, please provide some details on how eValid can be used as such.

Thanks

Good question and thanks for asking FOVerton.

Yes, if you realize that eValid, when in playback mode, is still an active browser, then you can use it in two ways for debugging tests or general investigation of web application behavior.

Take a look at this page for some background:

http://www.e-valid.com/Products/Documen ... .mode.html

(1) The single step mode will advance a single command in the current script and then pause the playback.

This will let you look, in detail if you wish, at the effect of every single command.

(2) In paused mode, the eValid browser is still active -- that is, it will continue to accept inputs from the user.

If you have set up your screen to view the EventLog this can be very effective in learning how your web page works.

In particular if there is AJAX operation then you can see ALL of the downloads and back-and-forth communication between the client and the server of the URL you're on.
