12 March 2007 Expanded AJAX Support
If you are working on building AJAX-based web applications -- as it seems so many people are -- you may want to be aware of two special eValid commands that allow advanced forms of AJAX page analysis and test synchronization:
  • You can synchronize test playback when there are "variable arrival time" elements, by basing the synchronization on a selected DOM object property value. Here is the SyncOnSelectedObjProperty Command Description.

  • There is a corresponding playback command -- ValidateSelectedObjProperty -- which be used to confirm DOM object contents. eValid's Adaptive Playback processes apply here, so tests are less brittle because they are less likely to fail due to inconsequential page changes.

The advantage to users is that, with these commands, it is possible to apply automated test methods to full-scale AJAX-type implementations.
