Tools for Image Verification - Some substitutes for Sikuli

[Senthil Kumar]

I dont find Sikuli much effective in my project. So, Is there any other alternative for GUI Automation?  

I just want to verify the images displayed in my application.

Thanks,

Senthil

Thanks for a quick reply, Thomas.

I played around with Applitools and it is super cool, but it is a paid one.
Can you suggest some open source tools?

Cheers,

You can do it by Selenium. You need to verify whether element (picture: take the id or xpath of element/pic) is displayed or not in the page by using Selenium.

for this you can use method isDisplayed()

What is the problem with using sikuli? If that is not suitable then any others that people recommend would likely also not suit your needs.

Ripon, I cannot locate the image in my application. It is just a  Google Maps Integration. So I need to verify whether Application navigates to particular location in the Map.

Peter, Sikuli seems bad for Exact pixel verification. That why I am looking out for some other best altermative.

Thanks,

hi,

You can take screenshot by Selenium WebDriver for post verification the image and it's position in worst case.

As far as I am aware all the free image recognition tools suffer from such problems.

That is true of the limitation of image comparison tools. You have to expect a certain level of variance or difference on the images you will be comparing. As long as it is within your desired threshold for differences, then it is good. Question is whether the tool can compare granular or accurately enough for your desired level of difference.

For exact image comparison, you're better off with things like a file hash compare, and that works best when you know the image should be exactly same being more likely a static image file (or generated the same way each time) and not a dynamic one like Google Maps.
