IOpus iMacros for the Lazy Engineer

August 6, 2008

… to simplify repetitive tasks.

For a reasonable fee ($199-$499), you can automate common mundane tasks. Iopus offers a 30 day free trial of their iMacros product, so it doesn’t hurt to try it out. The advanced version allows you to build a whole test suite of web regression, verification, and performance testing.

Benefits I’ve enjoyed for web testing:
- Simple record and playback with Macros Recorder
- Easy to fill out forms
- Offers a command line and scripting interface
- Extract web page data
- Website response time measurements
- Able to read data from text files
- Macro loops
- Popup management
