Introduction
Sikuli and Robot Framework are both freely available open source tools that provide interesting possibilities for automation testers, QA and other IT people.
Sikuli introduces new way of automated testing - test using screenshots and images, without using any internal API of objects under test. This approach (using purely images/screenshots and generating mouse and keyboard events) is more similar to manual testing activities performed by real people which have just monitor, mouse and keyboard.
Robot Framework is an excellent implementation of keyword- and data-driven approaches to test automation and besides it includes a lot of interesting features and tools, such as:
- RIDE (Robot Integrated Development Environment)
easy-to-use editor for creating and maintaining test data.
- Provides easy-to-read reports and logs in HTML format.
- Provides a simple library API for creating customized test libraries.
