SavvyRecruiter’s flexible design:
Separation of application layers
 The test platform and
the tests are two
different and distinct
layers.
Therefore:
 A newly developed test
can be added to an
existing Savvy
installation in virtually
no time.
 The platform can be
upgraded without
changing the tests.

SavvyRecruiter’s flexible design:
Flexible report system
 Powerful report generation system – HRVision’s technology – can
use any data source either a database or XML files.
 HTML reports enable the use of strong HTML and DHTML features
such as:




Dynamic graphics
Complex table design
Entity positioning
Binary behaviors
 A report can be viewed with Internet Explorer.
 The same reports are used for all Desktop and Web configurations.
 HTML makes localization very easy.
SavvyRecruiter’s flexible design:
Easy and fast localization
 User Interface, tests and report texts are arranged in carefully
designed excel and word files, with detailed instructions for
translators.
 A tool for automatic creation of user interface in new languages.
 Tools and methodology for building and testing reports in new
languages.
 Tools and methodology for recording and converting the tests to
the new language.
End Result:
 Localization of entire system to a new language: 8 weeks!

Detailed Application Architecture - framework
 Framework is the
“Center of Operations”
 Framework has a
window with a hosted
web browser window
inside.
 All the bi-directional
communication is
coordinated through
the framework

Detailed Application Architecture - GUI
 GUI is made up of HTML
pages loaded into the
browser.
 Each HTML screen contains a
script block with two roles.
 Role One: Deals with local
GUI logic
 Role Two: Communicates
with the framework when
an operation needs to be
done outside the screen.
 These oprations are called
services.

Detailed Application Architecture - services
 The provider of a service
could be the framework itself,
or external components
(usually .dlls)
 Services control the access
to:
 Database
 Files
 Registry
 Protection
 Services perform the
“business logic” of the
application.

Detailed Application Architecture - process demonstration
The primary process within
the application is the:
 Execution
 Scoring of a test
session.
Testing screen is an HTML
page which contains
Macromedia’s Shockwave
Control.

Detailed Application Architecture - test process
 A service loads a movie to the
shockwave.
 Script communicates through
the framework with a service
that accesses the Navigation
file.
 The service returns the
navigation instructions to the
framework -> html ->
shockwave -> movie
 At the end of the test, another
service checks the Scoring
file, scores the test and writes
the results to the database.
