Applet Recording

Testing Java Applet

Java Applets are making WebSites more and more sophisticated.

Highly graphical techniques bring more interactivity and visual

effects to your WebSite. How can you make sure that your WebSite

lives up to its expectations?

What Is Different About Testing My Applet?

A Java Applet creates objects outside the scope of normal HTML. eValid has the ability to record and

playback successfully the interactive options of an applet and

validate the pixel count of the applet to make sure it appears on

the screen as it is supposed to.

eValid Advanced Recording Techniques

Using the Advanced Recording features of eValid, one can create

tests that interact and validate Java Applets. Advanced Recording

options are powerful tools that can help test and validate even the most sophisticated WebSites.

Testing From The BrowserStep 1 of 9

Record > Validate > Selected > Text.

Applets: Validate OutputStep 5 of 9 (option 2)

Or you can use Record > Validate > & Synchronize > Screen Rectangle.

Applets: Insert WaitsStep 6 of 9

You may also wish to edit the script file and add Wait 1000 commands between

each AppletMouseClick

to ensure that eValid is completely synchronized with

the applet.

Sometimes, depending how an Applet or ActiveX control is instantiated, an application

creates another layer between itself and the browser.

the Absolute Events options.
