Sikuli

Sikuli is a visual technology tool to automate testing of graphical user interfaces (GUI) using image recognition. 7Sikuli scripts can be used to take a snapshot of a GUI element and compare it with some reference snapshot. Since Sikuli uses a visually driven approach (i.e. drag/drop images to test against), a test script writer can write test cases without any knowledge of the target application code. Sikuli provides an IDE that allows for rapid development of test scripts with application screen shots. It allows automation of anything that is visible on a screen. Sikuli can be used to control a web page, a desktop application, an android application or even an iPhone application running in a Simulator.

  1. Saket.. I need details about Ranorex.. I am currently a manual tester and my company recently planned to automate test for next generation. I noted good online reviews about Ranorex. But I couldnt find any user’s personal reviews.. If possible, can you or any of the readers provide details about Ranorex

  2. Hi Janani,

    I have used Ranorex as a trial version. It’s ease of use. Ranorex is another record and play back tool and as Saket mentioned you can customize by adding VB scripting also.
