What is Sikuli

Sikuli is a visual technology to automate and test graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images

(screenshots)

Sikuli is an open-source research project

Sikuli automates anything you see on the screen without internal API's support

Works on any Technology – Java, .Net Etc

Works on Windows/Linux/Mac OS X /Mobile Devices/VM

Independent of Application ,Technology and Platform

What’s New

What’s stop us in legacy tools:

How we over come with Sikuli:

Diversity of devices or platforms Application complexity Verification of UI at pixel level Automation on emulators/simulators

Generic way for Test Automation on Multiple platforms like Windows/Mac/Linux Sikuli is picture driven tool, It captures the images at pixel level for UI verification Can be used to automate emulator as well as devices Automate all the user operations e.g.. Click, type, Drag, Drop, mouse actions etc

Sikuli Vs QTP

Open source free ware tool Commercial tool from HP

Visual technology to automate and test graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images

Functional Testing performed based on Object properties

Supports Java, Python Supports VB scripting & Java Scripting

Supports Windows, OS X, Linux, Macintosh Supports only windows platform

We can automate dynamic objects Difficult to automate dynamic objects which are in motion

Automates anything on the screen without using any API's

It uses API support for automation

Can automate the remote screens as well Can not automate remote screens. Apps and QTP should be on the same machine

Simulators and emulators can easily automated Difficult to automate emulators/simulators with out proper external vendor add in support ( e.g: Zap Fix)

We can use as a generic way for test automation on multiple platforms. So easy maintenance

Currently platform specific tools available in the market. So maintenance will be difficult

Highly dependent on screen resolution. pixel by pixel Image comparisons is possible

Do not depend on resolution. Accurate Image comparison is not possible.
