| How customers use WinTask"I recorded a WinTask macro that automates my favourite searches on eBay and extracts prices from the results page." "Now I can easily to collect the prices of 33 insurance companies in 20 towns for 5 client profiles: 3300 values every three months! A very impossible job without WinTask." "We have a Database server that runs a large part of the company and it requires database maintenance to be run every weekend. The process is complex and takes 6-7 hours, but the steps are identical every time. I have been able to automate the entire task using WinTask." "Our job is basically to navigate through customer pages and record data such as availability and response time. We enjoyed working with WinTask and had no trouble getting through the development process. Since the help subsystem is complete, we could develop easily our scripts." "For reporting purposes I have to extract data from a Siebel environment every Friday. During my 2 weeks holiday period, these extractions had to be done but I couldn't spend the time to explain all the details to my backup or to write a detailed procedure. So I created some scripts using Wintask. My backup only had to start my computer on Fridays and double-click on icons to perform the tasks.." "I worked on automating a task to extract large volume data from our business warehouse on a daily basis. Our company uses the SAP Business Explorer Analyzer as front-end, which is an excel add-in. I could make WinTask wait until the download process from SAP Business Explorer Analyzer is complete." "The WinTask product is easy to use, performs as we expected and provides the functionality we require for automating test scripts. We are quite pleased with WinTask and have found it to be very useful with many of the repetitive tasks we need to perform as part of quality assurance testing. Here we used WinTask to extract a set of item numbers from an excel spreadsheet and then execute requests against our Inter/Intranet sites in order to ensure the sites were extracting information and responding to requests within a specified timeframe throughout the day." "I was looking for a product that could help me build a regression test suite for our applications. We follow eXtreme programming guidelines for the most part and regression test are very important. We build them as we implement new features and these test look at GUI interaction as well as results monitoring. With each step we regress all of the tests to ensure onward quality of application integrity. We were doing all of this manually. It is tedious and it is skipped at times due to time constraints. I developed many regression tests fully automated with WinTask and found the tool to be quite useful." "I am using WinTask to automate stock trading on NASDAQ. Broker firms do not give their clients access to a trading API thus making it all but impossible for the independent trader to develop and implement automated trading solutions. Then comes along WinTask. It automates the UI interaction with a brokers trading software. I get the WinTask script to poll a database in which trading instructions are queued and then action them through the Brokers UI. The Broker has no idea that this is in fact an automated solution." "The WinTask software is awesome. I have tried about 3 different software similar to WinTask. I was looking for a software that was easy to learn, use and performed automated tasks. WinTask was by far the easiest to use. I am not a programmer and the other software required some extensive programming knowledge." "Users run a batch report consisting of several hundred PDF files that need to be individually saved. Without automation, they would have to manually type a file name and click save each of the several hundred times the "Save As" dialogue box popped up. With WinTask, I've been able to set up a loop that automatically saves the PDF's using a default file name and a sequence appended to the end." "I automate the installation of several small programs into one installation application for distribution on all our ships. With the silent runtime that you provide, I can distribute the scripts along the necessary WinTask files." "I am getting my script to: look at a spreadsheet, grab a url, paste it into internet explorer, grab a value from the webpage, paste the value into another spreadsheet. With the actual spreadsheet about 700 lines, I could easily automate this tedious task"
