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.

browser navigate
to the WebSite
you want to test,

in the address
bar.

with your applet.
Applets: Validate Output

Next, validate the
output from the
applet. If the text is
selectable, as in the

Step 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.
Notes: Recording Tips and Solutions

Sometimes, depending how an


Applet or ActiveX control is
instantiated, an application
creates another layer between
itself and the browser.
Notes: Recording Tips and Solutions

To properly record the applet, it


may be necessary to enable use of
the Absolute Events options.
Notes: Absolute Events
Step 7 of 9
From the Toolbar,
click on Settings >

Absolute Events
and choose the
Absolute Clicks

in the Event Log to
view the same
reports in a variety
of formats: in
graphical format,
as a Spreadsheet,
a HTML Table or in
