While eValid is mainly a web testing engine -- that is its main purpose! -- there are a lot of applications which do interact with the windows desktop.
eValid would therefore not be a complete test engine if it could ONLY do the web parts of an application. (We know that there are several competing web testing "solutions" but they all suffer by this same deficiency, i.e. not being able to combine web and windows operations).
The eValid system uses Application Mode recording to capture and replay windows operations. During recording you toggle in and out of Application Mode with the
F12 key.
Remember, when you are in Application Mode the recording will capture all of your keyboard and mouse activity and the commands used to record these actions are a different set from those within eValid that capture web-browser application events and actions.
