AUTOnomyV is an automated test tool which uses the VBScript scripting language (Hence the "V" in "AUTOnomyV") to automate Internet Explorer HTML-based applications. It derives its name from the words "automation" (the capital A-U-T-O) and "autonomy", which means "freedom" and/or "the state of free". AUTOnomyV provides web test automation freedom from overly expensive commercial tools, and is totally free of charge! View the license agreement here.

AUTOnomyV's Competive Edge

It's free! Isn't that enough? Ok, aside from being free, there are many other things that will help make it your tool of choice, such as the fact that:

• It's a free Open Source tool.
• It uses VBScript, a full-featured object-oriented scripting language, rather than a proprietary vendorscript.
• It can be used in conjunction with standard VBScript syntax, to increase the power of your automated tests.
• It provides utilities and functions that make it easier for you to identify and access Internet browser objects.
• Upon accessing application objects, you can use standard VBScript and/or Document Object Model properties, methods, collections and events to increase the power of your tests.
• It's a powerful and easy to use tool with no complex Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).

And as if that wasn't enough, there's more!

• Record & Playback! - We all know some of the reasons to not rely solely on record and playback, but having such a feature is key in accessing object properties, building skeleton scripts and simply helping to quickly learn the tool language, as well as quickly learning some VBScripting Basics.
