Firstly, thanks to Paddy O’Hanlon (Segala newbie) for the introduction to iMacro by iOpus.

Again, another nifty little tool which I thought deserved a follow up post from my first post about such tools.

The following information is taken from the FAQ section on the iOpus Web site, what it says on the tin is enough, enjoy

What is iMacrosâ„¢?

In a nutshell, it is the world’s first browser-based macro recorder. It allows you to easily record Web surfing and replay it.

The web browser is probably the most frequently used software today, but many tasks are repetitious: checking on the same sites everyday, remembering passwords, submitting to search engines or testing web sites over and over again. With iMacros, you record these tasks once and then let iMacros execute them whenever you need them.

Any combination of browsing, form filling, clicking and information gathering can be recorded into a macro and iMacros even assists you during the recording with visual feedback.

Do you need to extract price lists, stock information or any other data from websites?
iMacros can do this for you. It submits data from a file to a website and stores the result from the website in a text file. No programming skills required!
Do you need to test web sites automatically?

Have you ever spent hours browsing your website to re-test it after a change? Our advanced PRO and Scripting Editions can automate almost any kind of web regression and verification testing for you!
