Hello all, Not specifically jQuery related, or even JavaScript related, but I thought the community might find it interesting. It's a FireFox addon for automating web site interactions, backed by a wiki/database thing for sharing automation "recipes". Ostensibly, it's for things like "add your phone number to the national do not call list" and "Check American Airlines Flight Arrival Time and Status". They have a video to better explain:
http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/coscripter/browse/video I haven't started using it yet, but it seems like it could potentially be a fantastic tool for testing. I find that much of my development time is spent going through the same remedial steps to get to the feature I'm trying to test (like login, browse to a particular page, change some particular options, etc), and usually the steps in question are just tedious enough to be annoying, but not worth slogging through writing a GreaseMonkey script for. But CoScripter has a really sweet recording interface, where you can just do the action once, then play it back when you need it. And it even lets you modify the "script", which is amazingly simple plain English. You can find out more at the main site here: http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/coscripter/browse/about You have to go through a fairly invasive and annoying "IBM account" signup to even get to download it, but it looks pretty sweet. Enjoy! --Erik
