As readers of the eValid User Forum know, it is not our practice to comment on the advantages or disadvantages of other technolgies, and that policy applies to WebDriver.
But an observation about the general architecture of eValid may be valuable to share. A primary feature of eValid that it is built as a full and complete browser -- one that emulates the IE browser, or which can simulate being any other browser as well. The main advantage of this architecture is efficiency and scalability.
Because eValid playback commands don't interfere with the browser's JavaScript execution thread, a test run on an AJAX application runs the AJAX part normally. The scalability advantage comes into play when running server loading tests, in which eValid instances can number in the 100's, or even in the 1,000's, on a single machine.
We believe that these are important factors to take into account when assessing eValid's capability.
