Industry = Software

Press Release Summary = Easy Web Automation, Functional and Regression Web Testing, Data Extraction

Press Release Body = iOpus Software has released Version 5 of iMacros, a
unique family of HTML based WEB macro recorders that run on the Windows desktop or server and automate all web-related routine tasks.

The Web browser is probably the most frequently used software today, and many tasks are highly repetitious.

iMacros relieves the repetition of checking on the same sites every day,
remembering passwords, submitting to search engines and testing web sites over and
over. With Internet Macros, you record these tasks once and then let Internet Macros
execute them whenever you need them.

Any combination of browsing, form filling, clicking, page navigation, upload,
download, printing, saving and data extraction can be recorded into a macro.
iMacros works by remote controlling the web browser. Thus it automatically
supports advanced features such as Secure Socked Layer (SSL), HTTP-redirects, and
cookies. Once a macro is created, it can run on any PC that has the iMacros
software installed.

The PRO Edition features an easy-to-use command line interface, batch file support,
and the ability to do web site response time measurements. The PRO Edition is the
only software of its kind that supports websites with FLASH and JAVA applets and can
switch between different web pages automatically with its tabbed browser interface.

The Scripting Edition is designed for use by web professionals and people
responsible for website testing. Performing functions normally found in applications
costing thousands of dollars, the Scripting Edition is an affordable alternative to
big name capture/replay testing tools. It includes all of the functionality of the
PRO Edition, plus an easy-to-use scripting interface that extends the popular
Windows Scripting Host with the ability to replay macros and extract web page data.
Users can also access this interface from Visual Basic, Excel, Access, Perl, the new
Microsoft .NET languages or any other Windows programming language. The users can
work in their favorite development enviroment and do not have to learn yet another
proprietary programming language. The Scripting Edition includes the free
iMacros Player, so scripts and macros can be provided to third parties at no
extra charge.

iMacros runs on Windows 2000, XP and Windows 2003.

iMacros Power Surfer Edition costs $29.95(US). The PRO Edition costs $199,
and the Scripting Edition is priced at $499 for a single user license. Multi-user
and site licenses are available. You can purchase iMacros securely online at
http://www.iOpus.com, or download a free 30-day trial version from the same address.
