What Is Unique About eValid?

• It Really Is A Fully Functional Browser: eValid is a full featured IE-compatible browser, capable of navigating the web. Except that it has all of the analysis and test functionality built in. The results you get with eValid are 100% identical to what your users see.
• A Powerful Test Engine: If you want to test a web application, eValid is the unified testing solution. Any script can be used for detailed Timings, Functional, Regression, Load Testing and R.I.A. monitoring.
• Point and Click Operation: Almost all test script creation is done with simple point & click pull-down menus.
• Totally Object Oriented (WYSIWYG): All your tests are purely Object-Oriented because they relate to the WebSite you're testing as seen from a browser. This represents real browser activity from your customer; not a simulated or virtual user.

What Is eValid Good For?

• Functional Testing: Record scripts today that capture information about how your WebSite is supposed to be. When you play them back later eValid will find changes and errors!
• Content Validation: Ensure the page you requested is the page you actually get.
• Timing Session: Measure the time to play back a test session -- one or many pages, including complex transactions, sessions that "maintain state" or use secure protocols.
• Loading Your Server: Hit your WebSite server with many simultaneous page requests from simulated users to see if your server can support high loads. Every simulated user is 100% realistic, because they all run from independent copies of eValid.
• Tuning Page Design: The detailed timings you get show you quickly where the biggest pieces of a page are -- so you know immediately what to improve!
• Site Analysis: Search any WebSite or sub-WebSite for timing, size, and link health properties. The only way to find broken links in dynamically generated pages is from a browser! You can get reports that show slow-loading pages -- you set the time threshold.

First timers might look at Movies or play Self-Play Demos.

Then, click on the eValid menus on the browser tool bar. Become familiar with Record, Playback, LoadTest, Settings, Window, and Help menus; it's the gateway to all of eValid's powerful functions. All eValid functionality is reached from the eValid pulldown menu or the eValid toolbar. Experiment! Have fun trying things out.
