Anyone know any softwares that can simulate human interaction on desktop browser specifically by clicking or entering some data and run some report and print automatically obviously with some programming behind this. Main, it will be used for reducing business process steps on human interaction day to day activity (possibly testing purpose in the future).
I am appreciated your comment or input.
Thanks
I tried a few different automation tools myself when trying to automate desktop software, one is AutoIt which is one of the most complete in my opinion. It helps to automate small tasks, ie: select a window and press a button to do the rest. It even has a macro recorder to get you started.
Telerik WebUI Test Studio
Watir
Selenium
...to name a few
To keep up with the namedropping, here's 2 APIs for Java:
Robot

I have a question regarding ABAP in Eclipse.
I have the problem that if I want to start a program through Eclipse there is at the first time a SAP-Logon login screen.
Workflow is like:
Start Eclipse
Login into the SAP System
Run ABAP program (F8)
Login screen of SAP pop up WHY???
I don't enter any details here only click on the OK button and it works...
I know that other people in my company don't have this issue.
May you have an idea.
Thanks in advance.
ABAP Development Tools does not run programs, transactions, and classes by itself, in a native, Eclipse-managed view. It only opens a window as a frame for a SAP GUI connection, similar to pressing the button "Open SAP GUI (Ctrl+6)".
Opening a new SAP GUI connection always requires a new login. That's actually a feature, because you might want to switch clients and/or language.
Many features of the ABAP world are not (yet) natively available in the ABAP Development Tools. Instead of providing Eclipse-managed views for them, the environment will then resort to the nested SAP GUI display you observe here.
For example, a while back, opening a structure or table data type in the Data Dictionary would open the same kind of SAP GUI connection, start transaction SE11 inside, and display the data type there. Now there's a native view for that that will display you the data type in a textual, CDS-like format.
I first need to offer the disclaimer that I am barely a novice when it comes to scripting or coding, so I might be doing this all wrong in the first place. I'm running into an issue with a script I had written in powershell a while ago that is used on several hundred computers in my company daily to automate starting a certain app that everyone uses. So far everyone else hasn't had an issue except one machine.
Normally when I run the script, it starts the services and cli for the program which opens in a new window. Then the script, still open behind that, sends all of the key commands to that cli window, pauses for a brief line of user input after which it closes that cli window, does a few other clean up tasks and closes out itself.
The only difference on this one machine that's not working is the script won't pass the keystrokes to the cli window. If I put them in manually including the normal user input, it finishes the rest of the script just fine, but the cli window is just not receiving the keystroke input from the main script.
The only part of the script that send the keystrokes to the cli window is a few lines of this:
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("Text{Enter}")
I have tried using the sleep command before and in between the key commands to make sure it's not going through the keystrokes to early. I've checked and windows had gone through an Update two days ago, but we would've heard about this issue right then if that was it. I'm at a loss for what the issue could be and would apreciate and help, tips, or direction to help figure this one out.
Is the console window the active window when the keys are sent? The documentation for the class you are calling indicates that it sends the keys to the active window. Not only that, but the documentation also seems to indicate that there are some issues that developers have run into when using that class to sends keys. I would try using the autoit powershell module instead. Autoit is its own scripting language which specializes in automating windows processes and being capable of automating interactions with windows forms, but also comes bundled with its own powershell module that I think is exactly what you need, so I would download the portable "zip" package, extract the powershell module from "Autoitx", and that should help you accomplish what you need
PowerShell automation especially when using SendKeys can / is glitchy due to many varying reasons. Can you use SendKeys sure, but you have to know the environment it will be run in and the needed performance details. Hence your futzing/guessing with Sleep.
There are purpose-built tools to help.
Auto HotKey
'PowerShell auto hotkey'
or the UIAutomation tool
'PowerShell automating other applications'
I have some test cases to validate whether the user details are appearing when applications like (SQL Server, Bitbucket, RDC, PuTTY etc. ) are launched. I want to understand if this scenario can be automated through PowerShell.

WASP is a PowerShell snapin for Windows Automation tasks like selecting windows and controls and sending mouse and keyboard events. We have automation cmdlets like Select-Window, Select-Control, Send-Keys, Send-Click, Get-WindowPosition, Set-WindowPosition, Set-WindowActive, Remove-Window ... etc.
Our goal is to enable you to accomplish most Windows GUI Automation scripting from inside PowerShell, without resorting to specialized (and expensive) scripting tools.
Just to be clear, don't expect any "click to record" functionality ... but do expect to be able to automatically tile windows, send mouse clicks and keystrokes, and in general, automate those tasks that you would normally not be able to do from a console.
This is for a Windows environment: Windows 7-10 / Server 2008/2012.
I want to create a script which will automate login at a URL, navigate to a another page, and then submit a form on that page.
Open Internet Explorer, if not already opened
Login to www.example.com/login (takes me to www.example.com/home)
Once logged in, go to www.example.com/submit-form-data
Enter values for fields and submit the form via button click
At first, I thought maybe I could use something like iMacro, a greasemonkey alternative, or even bookmarklets. But that'd all still require some user intervention. If there is a macro program which can replay all the steps, perhaps I'd be open to that. Otherwise, I think I may need to employ some kind of PowerShell or Curl-like program for Windows to handle UI automation.
At least with PowerShell, I don't think submitting a form should be too bad. If that's all I had to do, I wouldn't need any help. The problem is how do I log into a site, then navigate to a specific URL, on top of submitting a form, all in the same script?
I don't have to use PowerShell. I'd be open to alternatives to Curl on Windows, whatever those might be.
Thank you for your help in advance.
If your goal is to drive Internet Explorer, the most painless and robust way to accomplish this is probably to use Selenium WebDriver.
Many folks successfully use it on Windows via the Selenium C# bindings (although my favorite way to use Selenium on Windows is via the Selenium Python bindings).
If you're keen on using PowerShell, it should be possible to use Selenium from PS, although there are no official PS bindings from what I can tell.
I am not a programmer rather a designer but have been trying to write a .bat file for weeks to have two applications, which I specify, open automatically and snap to a scale of 80% left hand side and 20% for the second app on the right hand side. I have looked into multiple options without having any luck. Currently, I can create a script to open two files and automate key strokes to have them snap 50-50%, however I really need the 80-20% screen real estate. Any chance anyone would be able to help me out?
I am currently trying to use PowerShell with WASP (http://wasp.codeplex.com/) but scripting in this is beyond my knowledge. Many thanks!
You should try UI Automation PowerShell Extensions.
It supports testing for Metro Apps. The initial setup is a bit tedious (as described in the link provided) but it is well worth it. You have a UI action recording tool UIAutomationSpy which records all of your actions and generates corresponding PowerShell scripts. You can then run these scripts using the UIARunner tool.
With respect to the current problem, you could simulate the steps for snapping the apps using the recorder. You could then create a task which runs a batch file (executing the concerned script) on startup.
