We’re fans of Watir which amongst other things we use to automate web browser tests.

It makes automation very easy and you can do a lot with nearly no coding. What coding you do have to do is fairly intuitive.

However, looking at Sikuli it makes Watir look very complicated.

I don’t think it’s going to replace testing, as it’s not obvious that there’s a way of testing the resulting page (unless you can take a screenshot of the whole page?!). Anyway, once I’ve downloaded and tried I’ll post here with results. It seems too good to be true, but we’ll see!

Thanks to Ed who brought this to our attention.
