Fake equivalent for Windows
« on: June 12, 2016, 11:22 PM »
Hello!

I am amazed by the simplicity of Fake

I am eagerly looking for an equivalent for Windows, that will help you build an automation script using blocks (or some other easy interface).

Is there any?

Thanks!

A few that come to mind:

1.  Lord of the user interface
About $40 last time I checked, a year or so ago.

2. ubot - 3 versions: standard, pro and developer. Pricy. Starts at about $250 I think.

3. autoit

4. zennoposter - similiar to ubot. A bit less expensive though.

5. G2crowd's listing of automation software:  automation software list and comparisons.

+1 for imacros.
I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.

Just found this: Selenium

Quote
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.

From the above page, Selenium IDE for Firefox:
Features:
  • Easy record and playback
  • Intelligent field selection will use IDs, names, or XPath as needed
  • Autocomplete for all common Selenium commands
  • Walk through tests
  • Debug and set breakpoints
  • Save tests as HTML, Ruby scripts, or any other format
  • Support for Selenium user-extensions.js file
  • Option to automatically assert the title of every page
  • NEW! Easy customization through plugins
