We used Sikuli for test automation in a pretty large project with a Windows UI. Got kicked off by a TeamCity agent for every build and worked really nicely.
Thumbs up.
You do need to be careful about timing and getting the right images so tuning things to work under all conditions is a bit of an art. Also being able to recover from a failure so you can continue testing is another bit of art.
As to why this is news there seems to be a new release out (or soon?) 1.1.0 ... Sikuli development seems to have almost died a few years back but it's made a comeback over the last ~2.5 years which is nice.
- drothlis 12y agoI do a similar style of UI test automation for set-top boxes / smart TVs, with stb-tester[1]. We've found that the "Got kicked off for every build" continuous integration process you mention is the crucial part to achieving success with this type of test automation -- if you're going to invest the effort in writing reliable tests, you want to be getting value out of them by running them as often as possible and as early as possible.
