•Image-based approach•Two-system model via VNC/RDP technology

Image-based testing approach

•Automates the GUI of the SUT/AUT

Image-based testing approach

•Automates the GUI of the SUT/AUT•Sends mouse and keyboard events directly to the system

Image-based testing approach

•Automates the GUI of the SUT/AUT•Sends mouse and keyboard events directly to the system•Determines where to interact based on image or OCR searches

VNC and RDP

•Screen-sharing software that runs on the SUT or on middleman

VNC and RDP

•Screen-sharing software that runs on the SUT or on middleman

•Transmits mouse and keyboard events to the SUT for control

VNC and RDP

•Screen-sharing software that runs on the SUT or on middleman

•Transmits mouse and keyboard events to the SUT for control

•Transmits the screen buffer from the SUT for image/OCR searches

•Screen-sharing software that runs on the SUT or on middleman

•Transmits mouse and keyboard events to the SUT for control

•Transmits the screen buffer from the SUT for image/OCR searches•Non-invasive

Why image-based testing?

•Can test any technology or platform combination

Why image-based testing?

•Can test any technology or platform combination•Consistent scripting across technologies and platforms

Why image-based testing?

•Can test any technology or platform combination•Consistent scripting across technologies and platforms•Perfectly re-creates and tests the user experience

How do OCR searches work?

•Optical character recognition (OCR)

WaitFor 8, text:ʺHats & Glovesʺ

How do OCR searches work?

•Optical character recognition (OCR)•Examines arrangements of pixels on the screen

• Interprets the arrangements based on known words and characters

How do OCR searches work?

•Optical character recognition (OCR)•Text elements•Examines arrangements of pixels on the screen

• Interprets the arrangements based on known words and characters

•Independent of text font, size, color, typeface, etc.
