Hi, while I don't like the idea of introducing more and more testing tools, I can still see an interesting use case here: as of now, we have no way to test whether a given layout (HTML, JS, CSS) is really rendered the way we want it to be, since both Selenium and QUnit make their tests based on DOM, right? Sikuli on the other hand seems to be based on screenshots and here we could detect broken layout. There is also some kind of similarity algorithm (which I hope is configurable) so that one test could be used in different browsers even if the rendering is not identical to the pixel.
The question is, do we have the need for testing screen layout? Cheers, Markus P.S.: CCing wikitech, since this might be of broader interest. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sumana Harihareswara [mailto:suma...@wikimedia.org] Gesendet: Dienstag, 30.

It might face the same problems as Selenium, though. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
