15 July 2006 Playback Synchronization Support
The recently appearing description of the waitForCondition command in the open source Selenium system was a clear reminder of how important playback synchronization is. If your playback de-synchronizes, well, all bets are off... and the odds are your test is messed up as a result. Note that the Selenium command doesn't DO the synchronization, it only tells you when you are OUT of sync.

Two critical automatic synchronization commands are already build into eValid. They handle most cases when eValid does not synchronize automatically. The commands are the Validate and Synchronize on Screen Image command (SyncOnText) and Validate and Synchronize on Text String command (SyncOnScreenRectangle)

To dig deeper check out the Playback Synchronization page. The main point is that this support is built into eValid -- you don't have to write a program to get it.
