I have looked at some autofills for Firefox. But they are not designed with the developers' needs in mind. General internet surfers will need a tool to fill in many different forms with constant values for each form. Developers need exactly the opposite, when you want to test a part of your app you'll need to fill a single (or a couple of) forms many times with different (but valid and sensible) data.
So, does such a thing exist? An autofill to fill form inputs based on perhaps a class name (email, password, address, url, ...)?
I strongly feel if it doesn't exist someone should roll up their sleeves and make one! I for one will put in my share if some others want to team up. But right now, I am desperately in need of one if it exists
Pretty nice extension for chrome Web Developer Form Filler especially for web-developers.
You can save as many sets of data as you want, assign a hotkey and fill a form just by pressing it.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-developer-form-filler/gbagmkohmhcjgbepncmehejaljoclpil
Why not just go with a bookmarklet like https://github.com/dsheiko/autofill
it's a dead simple script that serves me fine for years
One way is to use Greasemonkey.
Example script:
"Auto Fill any forms with custom information":
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/39313
EDIT: Link may be broken but I'm sure you are capable of finding many Greasemonkey references.
Please check out my extension, Form Filler, which allows you to do exactly what you need: fill out your forms with random dummy data.

I think you will love IRobotSoft web automation software. See a similar question here:
http://irobotsoft.org/bb/YaBB.pl?num=1254517661
This is an auto form filler you are looking for. But this is a chrome plugin. This takes care of the developers need to fill valid data automatically by reading the properties. It also saves value against the form element if you make changes to it. Hence a must try for developers. Here is the link

I'm using VBA in Excel, and using the almighty Google to find functions, classes, methods for browsing HTML, string manipulation etc. but my question is actually for a possibly very general future usage.
Usually I find Microsoft documentation pages. Sometimes I figure out a way to use them, sometimes not. For example I found the function "Filter" (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fat7fw0s(v=vs.90).aspx) for string manipulation which seems to be for VB, not VB.NET however I have trouble running even the example code. I get a "variable not defined" error for "CompareMethod" constant.
I this specific situation I suspect I may need to add some references to my code in order for the compilator to recognize the symbols.
As a different example: I used the function Split (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.strings.split.aspx), which seems to be for VB.NET, however it seems to work as intended in my VBA code.
My Question: Can someone please not only explain to me what is happening here, but more importantly stir in the right direction by showing, where I can find VB functions and classes documented and their references explained in a way, that allows me to just add them in Excel VBA code?
EDIT: I like to emphasize that I see the Requirements part of the description, however I doesn't help me much in Excel, since I can only access libraries through Tools > References, and the names there are quite different then the namespace, module and assembly names on Microsofts' site.
Here you go - This is a site I use a lot. It has Functions all over it as well as tons of other VBA useful things.

I am trying to make a flowchart of my program (yes I know it is the wrong order to do it:) )
and I made a desicion symbol to represent the actionsheet I display in the iPhone application. It prompts the user "Yes, No, Cancel", so it is three options. However on all the templates/tutorials I have seen they only use "Yes" and "No" over the arrows which lead out from the desicion symbol. So could I use "Cancel" as well? If not how could I have done it otherwise?
You can do whatever you want with it, as long as it simplifies the meaning for your program. Decision making isn't restricted to 'yes' and 'no'.
Most of the time, flow charts are used to explain program logic to non-programmers. Your goal is to get them to understand what you program. We often use visual tools for this. You want to put all relevant information on there. If the cancel button is important to your program, put it on there. In my opinion there is no strict rule about what a flowchart should look like. Over time some basic form of flowchart has grown but you can add or remove whatever you want if it allows you to make more comprehensible charts.
Wikipedia suggests that decisions can have more than 2 choices, but should maybe be broken down. I see two options using a Google Docs drawing:
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/11AhEIUOr9SdhXB1REculUy0NF9c628qaxfYVacUGfzU/edit?hl=en_US
I agree with the previous answer that the simpler it looks the better... whatever makes it most understandable. I think it's simpler to have 3 choices out of the 1 decision.

I am going to be taking over from a developer here at work soon. Hence, I'll be supporting all the applications that he has written over the last few years.
My question is, when supporting an application that you probably don't know much about, what kind of documentation is most helpful to get a handle on how to fix problems, extend functionality, modify functionality, etc? I'm thinking it would need to give you an overview of what the software does, what interfaces it has to other software, what databases it uses, usernames, passwords, and so on.
Is there such a thing as a software support document? Referrals to any templates would be most helpful.
BTW, unfortunately, there are no requirements documents, specs, etc! So, really my question is, if my colleague had a day to write a single document for each application so that I could (more easily) support it, what would that document be and/or what would it look like?
I would ask for primarily some sort of flow chart/schema of the way the app functions.
I would want to be able to know how each file interacts with other files (and the database). So this way, you'd know where to start to fix a bug or add a new feature, etc.
So to do a quick, text mockup of it:
Index.php -> Login.php -> Dashboard.php
Index.php:
Has login box. Submits login into to login.php
Login.php:
Verifies data with database entries, shows error on fail or sends to Dashboard.php
Dashboard.php:
Once logged in this acts as a main menu
Something along these lines? For basic documentation I'd think this is the way to go.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Been looking through a number of other related posts relating to flowchart software.
I have been asked to put together a document outlining some of the typical problems our users encounter with our software product.
What I would like to do, is create an interactive/online flowchart that lets users choose from 4-5 overall headings on whats wrong. Then for this to dynamically expand more choices on pinpointing the problem, and so on and so on, until they can get a resolution to their problem.
The key thing that I have not been able to find in some of the flowchart software out there, is having the click + expand element.
- I dont want all options to appear to the end-user in a huge flow chart as it will distract away from their specific issue.
- I want them to be able to click away and go down a specific avenue that will end up giving them some good things to try, based on their decisions/clicks.
I was originally thinking of perhaps putting something in Flex or Silverlight (ideally someone would have a template out there) but am now thinking of taking advantage of 3rd party (ideally free) software.
This will need to be hosted in a browser.
Any ideas?
Check out FreeMind. It's mind mapping software, so not necessarily a flowcharting tool, but you can use it for what you describe.

iMacros is a very nice tool which allows to authomatically fill HTML forms and extract content, includes cycles and many other features. The problem is that it is quite tricky to make it extracting content properly. For example, I have failed to extract all London-to-Tokio flight prices for all the dates between 1/10/08 to 1/12/08 to find a cheapest one from expedia. Sometimes it just crashes. Does anyone know any good alternative?
Bah, I installed it but never really used it: I am happy enough with Greasemonkey.
Chickenfoot can make it more edible...
Searching for URLs, I found also DéjàClick and Selenium IDE but I don't really know them.
There are lot of other tools for Web automation, most of them professional (read "payware"...).
Alternatively, for just data extraction, I would use cURL or wget and a good HTML parser...
I have heard good things about Selenium IDE also and my limited testing indicates it is pretty capable, and works in Firefox and IE.
For most any macro based testing tool, you will need to do some programming if you need to support multiple, repeatable test cases.
That said, in your example you mention running an Expedia macro... presumably to scrape results. You will want to make sure that you don't hammer Expedia's servers, and/or expect to be booted once they discover you are (effectively) a bot.
I agree imacros is quite unreliable. They crash quite easily if you using complex algorithm or running it continously. The trick is to close it and open it again after loops. It will decrease the number of crash you will find, though not completely.
