> Wait Time vs. Delay Time
In eValid scripts there are two types of delay function which
enable the script to maintain a current state of synchronization
depending on the type of playback. In addition, delays are
valuable to assure that the scripts are accurate replicas of
actual user behavior.
o Wait Command
The "Wait" command is usually recorded automatically in the
script between command executions. You get these Wait
commands when you have Real Time Recording selected in your
Preferences. (You can turn that off if you like.)
When executed, this command reproduces the amount of time a
user takes before recording another set of instructions in the
page being tested.
During script playback the Wait Time Multiplier value in the
eValid preferences can be set to amplify or contract the
timing responses recorded by the user.
Setting this value to 1.0 represents real time recording.
Choosing 0.5 makes halves the wait times and speeds up the
playback by a factor of approximately two.
Setting the Wait Time Multiplier to 0.0 multiplies all wait
times by 0.0, and this effectively forces the delays all to be
eliminated. This is the fastest possible playback; it is the
same as if you had made the recording without the Real Time
Recording feature enabled.
o Delay Command
The "Delay" command is part of the extrinsic commands list for
eValid. You have to edit this command into an eValid script.
When executed, the "Delay" command waits for the amount of
time specified in milliseconds, ignoring the Wait Time
Multiplier and all Wait Ceiling values specified in your
eValid preferences.
