This is an area in which eValid differs
significantly from other solutions to the issues of testing web applications that you may run across. eValid
does NOT use the JavaScript interface like other systems do.
eValid is built -- by design -- to
not make use the JavaScript APIs as a means to maniupulate the browser. Instead, eValid, being a self-contained Windows application and makes its references to DOM contents directly through the C++ APIs. We did this because we knew that if we interfere with the JavaScript engine in order to do test playback, that the results will be inaccurate -- a big negative for a test tool!
The effect of this eValid architectural feature is signifcant: eValid does not interfere in any way with any JavaScript programs that may be running in the browser. This means that eValid allows AJAX operations, which are based in the JavaScript/XML "push-pull" logic, to run without any interference.
This is the reason why eValid can synchronize an AJAX application based on content of the COM -- because that synchronization logic does NOT content for CPU control with the JavaScript that is performing the AJAX exchanges.
