Question about the eValid EPI

PostPosted: Thu Nov 02, 2017 9:13 am

Morning.

Can the eValidEPI system be converted into an interface other than C++?

I want to continue to write and maintain tests in PERL, rather that convert everything into C++.

I'd like to be able to convert tests now so tests can be completed faster in the long run.

Thanks

Thanks for asking NRomero.

To begin with, let's take a look at the EPI interface:

We use C++ because that is the language which eValid is implemented, but as this explanation shows, you can use any language that a binds into a Windows executable:

To convert test programs expressed in PERL, VB or any such language the chore that needs to be done is to create a program that reads lines from your current test script and converts them into the EPI interface, which is written to accept C++ syntax.

With apologies, we haven't done this because there has been, for us, no need. C++ is close enough to C# and Java that the conversion links are trivial; other languages are outside our areas of expertise.

Even so, please contact us with any questions or issues.
