Web Application testing with eValid

Abstract

The web based applications are powerful and have the ability to provide feature rich content to a wide audience spread across the globe at an economical cost. Hence it is a daunting task to test these applications and with more and more features and testing these applications is becoming even more complex. This work covers some of the challenges faced when testing these applications with a testing tool called eValid. eValid is a software developed by Software Research, Inc. It is a test engine that provides client side quality checking. eValid is a testing tool suite built into an IE browser. eValid performs every function needed for detailed WebSite static and dynamic testing, regression testing, QA/Validation, page timing and tuning, transaction monitoring, and realistic & scalable server loading. eValid is used by webmasters, WebSite development teams, WebSite QA/Test teams, WebSite content providers, and IT managers. It is used to perform functional tests, to determine server load capacity, to check detailed timings, to verify WebSite integrity, to monitor Quality of Service (QoS) and to verify Quality of Experience (QoE). This work focuses on some of the research that has been done on web testing using eValid.
