Does eValid use HTTP traffic in simulating user load? I mean, do you have to keep track of the HTTP URLs or is it automatic?

The normal mode for eValid operation is to let the eValid browser do all of the work of generating and handling the HTTP requests and synchronizations. So, no, evalid does not use HTTP traffic directly.

But it does indirectly. This means that a simple FollowLink command in eValid may generate 10's or 100's of HTTP traffic sessions for all of the different parts of a complex page.

In effect, then, eValid takes you "above" the HTTP traffic...and this is a major simplification for users doing server loading work.

On the other hand, if you do need to just generate HTTP traffic the eValid "eVlite" capability will do this for you, but without any kind of coherent browsing or processing of the material that is generated by issuing a series of GetURL commands. eValid has the capability to create (recover) the list of URLs using the TraceURL feature, so you don't have to do that yourself.
