How to use IMacros to automate day-to-day work

Increase productivity with IMacros browser add-on components

In either industry, testing has become a necessary part of the manufacturing and development process. Especially the software industry.        In recent years, as a result of the development of WEB application, is a hot spot in the market, although not to the Han Emperor "alone respect Confucianism" eminence, but according to effective questionnaires, the number of Web engineers is the most. So many people spend so much time on work every day, the cumulative results are amazing, and all kinds of tools are booming. Web automated testing, now is not any new topic, today, a lot of sophisticated tools we can readily use, than many years ago, the current WEB engineers, the efficiency should be far more than the past.
The IMacros described here is a browser add-on that has been proven by countless people as a very powerful tool after a long period of development. IMacros as its name, this tool is mainly borrowed by the edit macro (Macros) to manipulate the browser to achieve the previous need to use the mouse keyboard manual operation.

IMacros Introduction

IMacros is primarily used to operate web Browser and is supported by major web Browser:ie, Chrome, and Firefox. This article mainly uses FireFox as an example to illustrate.
IMacros after years of development. Features more and more advanced. But one thing you may remember first is that the role of the tool is not a almighty-omnipotent tool, but a focus on the role set at the outset-to manipulate the browser. In this way, you can make a general judgment about what the tool can do and what it can't do, even if you don't read the instructions.
With a similar function of IMacros plug-ins or libraries, according to a variety of requirements, there are many mature solutions. Personally feel that relying on the existing browser to achieve the most convenient way, it can be said to stand on the shoulders of giants, because the development of the browser to eliminate the link, greatly reduce the difficulty of development and code, but also improve the convenience of the application.
If you do not rely on the browser, you must have the program to implement the browser functionality. Give a few examples, such as Perl LWP (Library for WWW. Perl) or httpclient in Java, and so on.
