4. What’s New
What’s stop us in legacy tools:
Diversity of devices or platforms
Application complexity
Verification of UI at pixel level
Automation on emulators/simulators
How we over come with Sikuli:
 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

5. Sikuli Vs QTP
Sikuli QTP
Open source free ware tool Commercial tool from HP
Visual technology to automate and test graphical user
Functional Testing performed based on Object properties
interfaces (GUI) using images
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
It uses API support for automation
API's
Can not automate remote screens.
Can automate the remote screens as well
Apps and QTP should be on the same machine
Difficult to automate emulators/simulators with out
Simulators and emulators can easily automated
proper external vendor add in support ( e.g: Zap Fix)
We can use as a generic way for test automation on Currently platform specific tools available in the market.
multiple platforms. So easy maintenance So maintenance will be difficult
Highly dependent on screen resolution. Do not depend on resolution.
pixel by pixel Image comparisons is possible Accurate Image comparison is not possible.
