Summary
This page outlines various facts about how eValid supports validation and verification of OWA sessions.

Background
OWA is a browser based replacement for Outlook 2003 that, according to Microsoft claims, is indistinguishable to the user from running Outlook 2003 except for the fact that instead of a native Windows desktop client the user is actually running with a browser.

Because eValid is IE-equivalent, it works equally as well with OWA as does IE. As a result, testing of OWA activity is possible with eValid's full DOM-based understanding of the pages and material involved.

Explanation Of Example
The sequence of screen shots that follow show the response to the eValid playback session that results from the script at the bottom of the page.

The script is not side-effect free, i.e. it does not meet the standard regression testing criteria of being nilpotent [meaning that after you run it things are returned to where they were when you started it]. In this case you have to go back into the public demo site and erase the "hello" if you want to run the test a second time. Otherwise, the initial condition is different and one would not expect the script to play back regression-free.
