eValid™ -- Automated Web Quality Solution Browser-Based, Client-Side, Functional Testing & Validation, Load & Performance Tuning, Page Timing, Website Analysis, and Rich Internet Application Monitoring.

Introduction
The eValid script window displays a record/play script as it being created, and shows it's operation during playback.

Operation
The script window is updated each time a new command is recorded. During recording, you can use the script window dialog to handle a variety of script-oriented actions.

• Direct Script Definition Access Feature
  To see the complete definition (detailed command syntax and complete explanation) of ANY command in the script window:
  1. Make sure the script is in edit mode.
  2. Highlight on the command keyword.
  3. Type Ctrl-Click-Click, i.e. "Control-Double-Click."

  eValid will then open a new window and display the complete script documentation for that particular command.

• File Pulldown
  The File PullDown gives you this display:

  

  These options select new or old functional test (*.evs) scripts, load test test (*.evl) scripts, save scripts, etc.

  The Revert To Saved option restores a script that was incorrectly edited.

• Edit Pulldown
  The Edit PullDown gives you this display:

  

  These options provide for editing of the current script in a variety of ways.

  • Conventional Edit Commands
    These options include the conventional Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete. In addition there are Select All, and Edit options, also with the conventional meanings.

  • Comment Processing
    The Comment Selected and Uncomment Selected options make it easy to comment out commands or passages of commands in your script that are not needed. The second option is the reverse of the first.

  • Edit > Encode Input Text
    The option to Encode Input Text instructs eValid to encode/encrypt any text input (e.g. a login and password). Once encrypted eValid will plaintext the information when filling in the form (but the user may not see it in plaintext depending on how the page treats that field).

    The resulting input entries in the script file will be encoded using an internal algorithm that will be used to decode the encrypted entry when needed during playback. What you see in the script file is the encoded version of that same information.

    CAUTION: When this option is turned ON eValid will encode (encrypt) ALL text entries it encounteres until the option is turned OFF. It is good practice to ONLY encode text input for account passwords and any other sensitive information.

  • Include Comments
    If selected, inserted commands have comments documenting their nature and format ahead of inserted commands.
