| Coast WebMaster 7.0 - Features and benefits
Quickly locates Web errors for repair
COAST WebMaster 7 gives you more than just the ability to identify problems
with Web site functionality - it also gives you the capability to resolve those
problems, rapidly and effectively. Publishing errors, like failed Web applications,
missing images, broken internal, external and anchor links and slow loading pages
are identified in a comprehensive report.
Reduces Web operational costs
Designed and developed specifically for Web professionals, COAST WebMaster 7
provides an automated Web-testing solution for every stage of your site's
lifecycle - from early design, through deployment to ongoing maintenance -
ensuring top Web quality without adding the resources and cost associated with
manual testing. Unlike most testing products on the market today that limit the
number of links you can test, testing with COAST WebMaster 7 is virtually
unlimited, and reports can be tailored specifically to your needs. Don't lose Web
visitors due to a poor quality Web site.
Ensures conformance to corporate standards
Verify that your Web site meets your organization's corporate standards for
elements like copyright, legal notices, and branding elements. PageRules allow
you to write your own test rules confirming the absence or presence of specific
display text, tag text, links, applets, controls, scripting, forms and frames
generated by your code.
Manages, maintains and inventories your Web site
COAST WebMaster 7 is the best tool to get a comprehensive snapshot of your
Web site. Through synchronized, interactive views, you can access and inventory
every piece of information about stored documents, files, applications and
hypertext links on your Web site. For example, identify the number of PDF files
or images on your site and determine their exact locations. Also, get a complete
view of your outbound links to ensure you don't unknowing send visitors to
questionable third-party content.
Meta Tag Support
You can now inventory the custom meta tags on your Web site. First tell COAST
WebMaster which meta tags to track, then add the meta tag values to your List
View or Custom reports.
Scan Recovery
COAST WebMaster now lets you "checkpoint" the results of a site test as it
progresses and restart the scan from that point if it is interrupted for any reason.
This is a great benefit to anyone who operates large Web sites.
Per Site Settings
Preferences, such as proxy settings and threads, can now be set both globally
and per individual site. For people who use COAST WebMaster to test many
different sites, this feature significantly reduces the time needed to configure
your scans.
Fix and Replace Link
Repair or replace all instances of a broken link throughout your site in a single
operation.
ActiveScan
Rapidly map and test forms and other dynamic content on your site. Enter the
data just once: ActiveScan lets you see the pages behind the forms and verify all
the content - automatically.
Performance Statistics
Discover how your site performs at different connection speeds: automatically
calculate total page sizes, highlight slow pages, and receive download estimates
for typical connections
Custom Reports
Customize, print and export any COAST WebMaster standard site report - or
create your own report using a simple dialog box. Use critical information such
as last modified date, author name and page size to sort your reports.
PageRules
Ensure a common look and feel for your Web site: check for specific display text,
tag text, links, applets, controls, scripting, forms and frames generated by your
code. Use PageRules to confirm that corporate content standards appear as
they should on individual pages or across the entire site.
Directory and File Management
Restructure your directories and files or rename individual pages. COAST
WebMaster's Configuration Wizard prevents accidental overwriting of files;
LinkWizard updates all affected links automatically. View the details of changes
before applying them - and even undo them after they've been made.

globe. Compare your site's behavior in different browsers. COAST WebMaster's

version changes across time.

scanning only those pages that have changed.
