Morning.

Can you explain how the adaptive playback feature works for test playbacks using eValid?

Thanks

Sure, no problem JudLynn.

The idea is that a test script might FAIL if something minor (non-critical) in the web page changes, so the test engine should automatically compensate for such small changes.

There being no definition of what "minor" is, we implemented adaptive playback for a subset of common page migrations that generally are taken as non-critical.

That is, that if the test runs EXCEPT for that, then it is a PASS.

Here is a summary of how this works in the eValid test engine:

Note that you can turn adaptive playback OFF, at the likely cost of making your test script more brittle.

Hope this helps.
