Yahoo! YUI Demonstration Script
The Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI) is a collection of JavaScript objects and elements organized as a powerful GUI support environment. The YUI system has been used to good effect on a number of widely known commercial websites.

This eValid application example shows how well eValid works with one of the toughest YUI-based websites. As the YUI Demonstration Script illustrates, eValid can locate the right things to do on the target website, then take actions on them that are performed independent of details of the page. In effect, the page can change substantially and the script will still work normally. This is a big advantage for regression testing because the resulting test script is very durable, i.e. not "brittle".

10th IEEE International Symposium on Web Site Evolution

This International Symposium on Web Site Evolution, WSE 2008, is set for 3-4 October 2008 in Beijing, China. (WSE 2008 is co-located with the 24th IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance.) The presentation schedule appears to be very strong, including a special presentation by Scott Tilley ("Ten Years of Web Site Evolution") and two talks (one in each conference) by Harry Sneed, the noted German software engineering authority.
 
Some Monitoring Recommendations
Running functional tests on a regular schedule is what Rich Internet Application (RIA) monitoring is all about. And, that kind of monitoring is a growing eValid application.

Because eValid functional test scripts can emulate a field user doing any kind of complex transaction -- i.e. with a fully stateful emulation -- eValid functional tests become increasingly desirable for Web 2.0 and AJAX website and web application checking. In monitoring practice typically you use one eValid Master Station to create and perfect your scripts, and a set of eValid Agent Stations to play the scripts back on a scheduled basis. Here is our recommendation for eValid RIA Monitoring Packages.

eValid interfaces easily with major monitoring and network management reporting engines. The interface is usually a simple PERL script. Ask us for details about your monitoring environment. We can supply the PERL scripts for eValid customers at no extra cost.

 
eValid Knowledge Base Technical Resources
Here are some useful technical resources for you:
  • If you run into a tricky problem testing a website, you might consider checking out the 40+ entries in our Worked Solutions Resource. You'll find a wide range of already-worked examples showing how eValid solves typical testing situations.
  • Watch some of our Annotated/Animated Movies. You'll see how eValid works from the GUI level, and see how eValid deals with specific testing situations.
  • For general eValid usage you may wish to check into the set of our "top 99" Power User Tips & Tricks. They cover everything from simple functional testing to detailed LoadTest experiment development.
Let us hear from you if you have additional needs or if you are facing a tricky test requirement.
