> Using eValid's Test Wizards

  Since time is almost always the issue when it comes to testing
  WebSites, it is a big convenience to automate as much testing as
  possible.

  Here at eValid, we develop enhancements for our tool to help make
  testing your WebSite simpler, more effective, and time saving by
  automating basic tasks such as Link Checking, Form Testing, and
  Button Testing.

  * Link Test Wizard:  The Link Test Wizard aside from the SiteMap
    feature of eValid basically does a Goto commands for every link
    in the  page.  Then basically returns to the page where it
    originated from.

    (1) Navigate to a WebSite where you want to perform the Link
        Test Wizard.

    (2) Start a recording.

    (3) From the eValid pull-down menu, select "eValid > Record
        Mode> Wizards > Link Test Wizard" or by simply pressing
        "Ctrl + Shift + L" to activate the test.

    (4) eValid then prompts the user to select from three different
        types of link tests.  (See previous Tips & Tricks for
        complete description on Link Test Wizard)

    (5) As soon as the proper test is selected, eValid then gathers
        all the links and runs the wizard on playback.

  * Form Test Wizard:  The Form Test Wizard is for pages where some
    forms are involved.  As the name describes, the wizard basically
    tests all elements of form -- from text boxes to check boxes to
    drop down lists to combo boxes and radio buttons.  So if your
    WebSite is form intensive, use eValid's Form test wizard to
    effectively check your forms and save yourself precious time.

    (1) Navigate to a popular WebSite where there are forms
        available, such as registration pages.

    (2) Start your recording.

    (3) From the eValid pull-down menu, select "eValid > Record
        Mode> Wizards > Form Test Wizard" or by simply pressing
        "Ctrl + Shift + F" to activate the test.

    (4) Stop your recording, and begin playback.

    (5) As you will observe in your script, eValid automatically
        fills in the entire form on playback!

  * Button Test Wizard:  The Button Test Wizard is a simple test to
    see if the buttons on the page you are testing actually does
    work! If you have a site which has quite a number of buttons
    such as "Submit", "Search", "Find", etc.  then this wizard is
    perfect for you!

    (1) Navigate to a popular site where there are quite a number of
        buttons to be tested.

    (2) Start your recording.

    (3) From the eValid pull-down menu, select "eValid > Record
        Mode> Wizards > Button Test Wizard" or by simply pressing
        "Ctrl + Shift + B" to activate the test.

    (4) Stop your recording, and begin playback.

    (5) On playback eValid automatically tests all the buttons by
        "Virtually" pressing it to see if it performs its intended
        function.
