08 March 2006 Handling File Uploads and Download.
A very common request that we get from eValid users is for detailed information on how to perform a particular kind of test activity. So far we are pleased that we have been able to solve these problems 100% of the time.

Among the more common requests that we get is: "How do I get eValid to time a file upload?" In field practice, you would want to time a file upload if your application is copying something from your client machine (which is where eValid is running) into a website or web applications.

As this File Upload Recording example illustrates, this could be sending an image as an attachment in a browser-based (over the web) email account.

Probably the second most common request regarding file processing that we get is: "How do I get eValid to time how long a file takes to download? This mostly arises from applications that require some kind of download process, typically one using the standard Windows file download modal dialog protocol.

As this File Download Recording example shows, the "trick" is to synchronize the timing on a part of the file download protocol display, waiting for "Download Complete".

If you have a particular problem you want to solve using eValid testing-in-the-browser technology to solve please Contact Us. Be sure when asking your question or posing your problem to give as many details as you can!
