Accessing repetitive motion in a web application?

Howdy Folks,

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to best access repetitive motion in a web application. I'm also be super curious if anyone had automated testing around it in their QA departments, but would be just giddy if I had a better way to access it initially.

Thanks very much,

Becky

Recent research on the ROI of usability

Hey IxDAers,

I've been tasked with listing potential problems that a client might have
and their solutions. Basically, I'm to find the ROI of usability as it
applies to our clients complaints. We specialize mainly on intranet web
applications and we're looking to expand our services a bit -- usability
assessments, interaction redesigns, etc.

As I'm working on gathering ROI research, I'm turning up some decent
research, but most of it is dated from the late 80s to the early 00s. The
most recent document I've found is from 2007, which is fine, but it's the
only recent article I've found.
