Feb 18	comment	Automated network capture and analysis? Yea that's what I figured as one option (as mentioned in question about using pcap libraries). Thanks for providing code example of how to do it.

Feb 18	comment	Automated network capture and analysis? Thanks, that's good to know. Too bad code's not available to share as open source :(

Jan 21	comment	Telecom testing - any tool integration and use of test frameworks? Thanks for the feedback. I'm aware of that, but not all telecom tools offer an API (e.g. legacy telecom tools a decade or more old, in house tools, SIPP). I find it rather interesting that for an open source project, nobody has bothered to expose an API for SIPP, it's all XML input files. Compare that to Selenium for web apps which has rich API.

Jan 20	comment	Automated Test Case should Pass in 2 scenarios. How do I create such test case in 'Robot Framework-Selenium Library' You might have better luck posting your question to the RF users group: groups.google.com/group/robotframework-users

Oct 4	comment	Compare screenshots of rendered web pages Also wanted to add, Sikuli can be better than Selenium or a complement to Selenium (via tools integration), where Selenium falls short. E.g. where you can't automate/detect object that isn't web-based such as Flash, Silverlight, Java applet, image/video, or combining browser and desktop GUI testing in a single test.
Oct 4	comment	Compare screenshots of rendered web pages On my previous comment, I personally would use Sikuli at the most atomic level for finding/comparing images. That is don't use a whole desktop screenshot as your reference image to find against unless you have to. Always use the smallest portion (e.g. just the object in question, or the object and some other objects relative to it in layout). This will allow for different screen resolutions w/o breaking the test. Whole desktop screenshots dictate you match the screen resolution for it to work.
Oct 4	comment	Compare screenshots of rendered web pages The Sikuli API has parameters for setting level of difference in finding images as well, though it might be less feature rich in how you specify differences compared to other tools or libraries.
Oct 4	comment	Compare screenshots of rendered web pages Well, unless you're comparing against exact match or some specific comparison algorithm or DOM structure, then Sikuli is useful for comparing images or any object/element on the screen/page represented by an image. The method to do this is to capture a reference element/object (say just a button) on the screen (crop it out from a screenshot) or if you need it relative to other objects, then capture a larger portion of screen or even the whole screen. Save the (cropped) capture as reference image. Then use Sikuli API in test to try and find if object exists anywhere on given screen.
Jul 13	comment	Under what circumstances is Sikuli better for test automation than Selenium or Watir? Check out my Sikuli wrapper project that presents a bit of how to appropriately use Sikuli as well as a smaller core subset API of what you would do with Sikuli: code.google.com/p/simplesikuli/wiki/UsageDetails

Jul 13	comment	Under what circumstances is Sikuli better for test automation than Selenium or Watir? had to break up comment due to length. So you do Sikuli tests like can you click this button on screen (doe it exist anywhere on screen)? And you can make it relative to some other elements on screen as in button must be next to these items, etc. How atomic you make it depends on your needs. Fully atomic means it can be anywhere and not relative to some other elements. Using these techniques properly, changes in page layout won't necessarily break a test. You just have to update UI elements when changed (e.g. button look) and page layout only if using relativity of elements to each other.
