eValid™ -- The Web Quality Suite Browser-Based Client-Side Functional Testing and Validation Page Timing/Tuning Transaction Monitoring. WebSite Spidering & Analysis and Realistic Server Loading.

Introduction
The script below performs these basic timing and validation steps:

1. Visits the eValid home page and confirms it has loaded. Success means operation is confirmed.
2. Launches the eValid BLOG, confirms it has loaded, then closes it. Success means operation is confirmed.
3. Opens the eValid User Forum, confirms it has loaded, then closes it. Success means operation is confirmed.
4. Navigates to the eValid product download page, confirms it has loaded, then closes it. Success means operation is confirmed.

Each navigation is followed by a DOM-based SyncOnText command to make sure that the required page is fully present before continuing. There are fixed length waits in the script to keep it from going "too fast", and these fixed times ought to be subtracted from the measured times.

Intra-Script Timing
The script times each of the above four steps and outputs the step time and the total time to a local file. It also uses the built-in timer to put the same data in the EventLog and PerformanceLog. The reporting engine that is analyzing eValid output thus has access to this data in several formats.

Monitoring Interval
Monitoring interval is set to once per 15 minues (for demonstration purposes).

Alarm Processing
Overtime and limit alarms are not implemented in this demonstration script.

Auxiliary Output
For separate processing this script has a sequence of SaveRecord commands that output the individual times within the playback. A sample of this output is shown below (for illustration purposes).
