|

* Welcome to Libcvautomation!
|
||||
* Libcvautomation is a GUI automation and testing tool based on image recognition and response. This program was designed as a direct replacement for <a href="http://sikuli.org">Sikuli</a> and <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xpresser">Xpresser</a>. I was having incredible difficulty getting either of these solutions to work - Sikuli would crash whenever I tried to take a screenshot, and Xpresser was both too new for our RHEL 5 systems, but also died, or didn't work, or something else. I really liked the way each of these programs approached GUI automation, but they simply didn't work. Additionally, I wanted to create a simple solution - it does what you want it to, and that's it.
|
||||
* \section how_it_works How Libcvautomation Works
|
||||
* Libcvautomation represents two software products coming together - <a href="http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/">OpenCV</a> and the <a href="http://www.x.org/docs/Xext/xtest.pdf">XTest extension</a> to the X11 server. OpenCV is used for image recognition, and XTest is used to actually drive the X server. You can dig into \ref libcvautomation-xtest.h to get an idea of what all this library is capable of. <br>
|
||||
* Basically what happens is that for whenever you need to do image recognition, OpenCV is used to find the images, and XTest is used to generate any events needed. Libcvautomation is mostly a wrapper to integrate both of these products, but also adds some functions like matchSubImage_X11() that allow you to match an image against the X11 root window in place. This means no more <tt>'xwd | convert "<out_name>"'</tt>.
|
||||
* \section using Using Libcvautomation
|
||||
* So how does one go about using libcvautomation? <br>
|
||||
* I'm so glad you asked! I've provided a few reference programs - \c cva-match and \c cva-input - that can be used to demonstrate most of libcvautomation's capabilities. I've even provided a BASH wrapper to make it incredibly easy to use BASH with libcvautomation as well (requires that cva-match and cva-input are installed). Python bindings are on their way too. <br>

* \section audience Audience
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>This document was written for people with some intermediate knowledge of BASH.
|
||||
* <li>Screenshot experience is required - being able to create screenshots of windows using <a href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a>, the \c import command from <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php">ImageMagick</a>, or something similar. <br>
|
||||
* <li>Required for working with libcvautomation internals (not needed strictly for writing application testing):
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>Intermediate-level C knowledge required for interfacing with libcvautomation. There isn't much complicated going on with libcvautomation itself, but you need to know to use cvaOpenDisplay() for grabbing a display and then cvaCloseDisplay() for closing it later for example.
|
||||
* <li>C++ is available, but currently only as <tt>extern "C"</tt> style bindings.
|
||||
* <li>Python bindings are in progress as of time-of-writing
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
*
|
||||
* \section purpose Purpose
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>This document is intended to outline the libcvautomation testing library for GUI applications and its two reference programs \c cva-match and \c cva-input
|
||||
* <li>These programs allow you to automate mouse and keyboard events in response to what appears on screen - for example, clicking a button based on an image of that button on screen.
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
*
|
||||
* \section using Using Libcvautomation
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>Since libcvautomation is a shared-object library intended to bundle a lot of functionality in one area, we must use external programs to agin access to the functions of libcvautomation.
|
||||
* <li>Two reference programs have been included to make this easy - \c cva-match and \c cva-input
|
||||
* <li>The reference programs are fairly full-featured, and expose most of libcvautomation:
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>\c cva-match allows you to match multiple image files against a root image providing very fine control over how specific the match is
|
||||
* <li>\c cva-input allows you to drive the X11 server using the XTest extension - for example, clicking on a button from image, clicking a key on the keyboard, and more.
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* <li>These two programs should implement all functionality needed for GUI automation. Please contact <a href="mailto:bspeice@uncc.edu">bspeice@uncc.edu</a> if you have suggestions for extra functionality, patches, comments, etc.
|
||||
* <li>Finally, if you want to write your own programs using libcvautomation, the headers are located on your system. Use:
|
||||
* \code #include <libcvautomation/libcvautomation.h> \endcode
|
||||
* to include all necessary header files. See the "Files" tab above to get an idea of what functionality exists.
|
||||
* \note Intermediate C or C++ knowledge is required for programming with libcvautomation. C++ is currently only supported through <tt>extern "C"</tt>, and full C++ bindings are not currently planned. Libcvautomation itself is incredibly simple, but interfaces with a few API's (Xlib, libcv) that it is helpful to have an idea of how to use.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* \section testing Application Testing
|
||||
* Now we get into the good stuff. The basic process for application testing is as follows:
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>Create a sequence of screenshots for all mouse-clicks
|
||||
* <li>Create a testing wrapper in BASH for automating the application
|
||||
* <li>Test the wrapper and tune any necessary options
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* \subsection screenshot_sequence Creating the Screenshot Sequence
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>This process creates a set of screenshots by which libcvautomation can drive the X11 server
|
||||
* <li>The process is simple - create a screenshot of all buttons you would like to click in an application test, or location where you would like to move the mouse, etc.
|
||||
* <li>This can be accomplished a number of different ways - using GIMP, the \c import command, or any other screenshot program. Additionally, libcvautomation will support any image format that OpenCV does. At the time of writing, these are:
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>Windows bitmaps - <tt>*.bmp</tt>, <tt>*.dib</tt>
|
||||
* <li>JPEG files - <tt>*.jpeg</tt>, <tt>*.jpg</tt>, <tt>*.jpe</tt>
|
||||
* <li>JPEG 2000 files - <tt>*.jp2</tt>
|
||||
* <li>Portable Network Graphics - <tt>*.png</tt>
|
||||
* <li>Portable image format - <tt>*.pbm</tt>, <tt>*.pgm</tt>, <tt>*.ppm</tt>
|
||||
* <li>Sun rasters - <tt>*.sr</tt>, <tt>*.ras</tt>
|
||||
* <li>TIFF files - <tt>*.tiff</tt>, <tt>*.tif</tt>
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* <br>
|
||||
* <li>Some tips on creating screenshots:
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>Use as distinct an image as possible in a screenshot. For example, the following images look very similar, but can do very different things:
|
||||
* \image html print-printbutton1.png
|
||||
* <br>
|
||||
* \image html print-helpbutton.png
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>The large amount of grey-space in each of the images can be very confusing. While the text itself is different, the overwhelming amount of grey space can result in a false positive. Limiting the space of the screenshot can be useful:
|
||||
* \image html print-printbutton2.png
|
||||
* <br>
|
||||
* \image html print-helpbutton.png
|
||||
* <li>Limiting the button size in this case helps the program identify what button you want to click, but in general you want to include as much detail as possible.
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* <br>
|
||||
* <li>Be careful of where an image may appear multiple times in a screenshot. For example, a "Help" button on a dialog may get confused with the "Help" menu at the top of the screen.
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
*
|
||||
* \subsection testing_wrapper Create a Testing Wrapper
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>This is where the BASH knowledge comes into play. We are going to write a script that will run your application test, to make sure that the GUI is functioning correctly.
|
||||
* <li>The following is the (strongly) recommended process, but is not strictly necessary to follow this. The way I'm going to explain this is by giving an example test I wrote, and explain what is going on:
|
||||
* \code
|
||||
* #!/bin/bash
|
||||
* #This is an application test involving libcvautomation and libreoffice
|
||||
* . libcvautomation_funcs
|
||||
*
|
||||
* #Changing any wrapper parameters should go here
|
||||
*
|
||||
*
|
||||
* start_libreoffice_writer ()
|
||||
* {
|
||||
* click_i "screens/gnome-1_menu.png" "screens/kde-1_menu.png" && sleep 1
|
||||
* click_i "screens/gnome-2_officeMenu.png" "screens/kde-2_officeMenu.png" && sleep 1
|
||||
* hover_i "screens/gnome-3_LibreOfficeWriter.png" "screens/kde-3_LibreOfficeWriter.png"
|
||||
* jiggle_mouse
|
||||
* click
|
||||
* sleep 30
|
||||
* }
|
||||
*
|
||||
* close_libreoffice_writer()
|
||||
* {
|
||||
* click_i "screens/gnome-4_fileMenu.png" "screens/kde-4_fileMenu.png" && sleep 1
|
||||
* click_i "screens/gnome-5_fileExit.png" "screens/kde-5_fileExit.png" && sleep 1
|
||||
* click_i "screens/gnome-6_discard.png" "screens/kde-6_discard.png" && sleep 1
|
||||
* }
|
||||
*
|
||||
* start_libreoffice_writer
|
||||
* close_libreoffice_writer
|
||||
* \endcode
|
||||
* <br>
|
||||
* \code
|
||||
* #!/bin/bash
|
||||
* #This is an application test involving libcvautomation and libreoffice
|
||||
* . libcvautomation_funcs
|
||||
* #Changing any wrapper parameters should go here
|
||||
* \endcode
|
||||
* <li>The purpose of these lines is just the standard BASH header. Additionally, we import a wrapper created for libcvautomation to make our job easier. Please note that the wrapper is included at the top of the source tree, you may need to copy it somewhere in order to use it. The wrapper itself is a handful of macros used to make our job easy.
|
||||
* <li>Changing any wrapper parameters should go after sourcing the wrapper functions. See below on \ref testing_test_wrapper for more information.

|

* <li>By using the function \c click_i, we make things a bit more readable - the full command line is <tt>cva-input -s 'icmouseclick <filename>'</tt>
|

* <li>See \ref wrapper_functions for a list of all functions available in the wrapper.
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* <li>\c hover_i is a function to move the mouse to an image - in this case, move it over the LibreOffice menu item.
|
||||
* <li>Then we jiggle the mouse to make sure that the item activates, click, and wait for the program to start up.

* \subsection testing_test_wrapper Testing the Testing Wrapper
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>First things first, run through the testing wrapper to make sure that everything is O.K.
|
||||
* <li>If you need to, some things you can do to tune the application test are as follows:
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>Set the \c TOLERANCE
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>This value adjusts how strict libcvautomation is when trying to find a sub-image. See \ref libcv_search_methods for more information on how to control how libcvautomation searches for images.
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* <li>Set the \c CENTER
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>By default, the wrapper will use the center of an image as opposed to the upper-left corner to click on. To change this behavior, set: \code CENTER="" \endcode
|
||||
* <li>To set the behavior back to using center-based matching, set: \code CENTER="c" \endcode
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* <li>Set the \c OUTFILE and \c ERRFILE
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>The application wrapper logs a whole lot of information about what it does to make debugging easy. However, to make sure that you're not overwhelmed by the output, the wrapper also directs the output to <tt>/dev/null</tt> by default.
|
||||
* <li>To redirect the output of \c OUTFILE and \c ERRFILE, set them to any file you want. For example, the following code will create a temporary file for OUTFILE and ERRFILE, and notify you of what they are:
|
||||
* \code
|
||||
* OUTFILE=`mktemp`
|
||||
* ERRFILE=`mktemp`
|
||||
* echo "OUTFILE location: $OUTFILE"
|
||||
* echo "ERRFILE location: $ERRFILE"
|
||||
* \endcode
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* <li>A full list of commands provided by the wrapper is available at \ref wrapper_functions
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
*
|
||||
* \note These options are controlled using the testing script as demonstrated above. Any modifications to the following values should be done at the line: \code #Changing any wrapper parameters should go here \endcode
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
* \section wrapping_up Wrapping Up
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>At this point you should have all the information you need to write your own application tests. The libcvautomation library and reference programs were designed to be simple and powerful, but if you invest the time to learn them and some expert BASH scripting, you can do some very complex things.
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>For example, integrating a <a href="http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/Tap-functions">Test Anything Protocol</a> wrapper into your scripts as well.
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||

|
||||
* \date 7/11/2012
|
||||
* \section intro Introduction
|
||||
* Welcome to Libcvautomation!
|
||||
* Libcvautomation is a GUI automation and testing tool based on image recognition and response. This program was designed as a direct replacement for <a href="http://sikuli.org">Sikuli</a> and <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xpresser">Xpresser</a>. I was having incredible difficulty getting either of these solutions to work - Sikuli would crash whenever I tried to take a screenshot, and Xpresser was both too new for our RHEL 5 systems, but also died, or didn't work, or something else. I really liked the way each of these programs approached GUI automation, but they simply didn't work. Additionally, I wanted to create a simple solution - it does what you want it to, and that's it.
|
||||
* \section how_it_works How Libcvautomation Works
|
||||
* Libcvautomation represents two software products coming together - <a href="http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/">OpenCV</a> and the <a href="http://www.x.org/docs/Xext/xtest.pdf">XTest extension</a> to the X11 server. OpenCV is used for image recognition, and XTest is used to actually drive the X server. You can dig into \ref libcvautomation-xtest.h to get an idea of what all this library is capable of. <br>
|
||||
* Basically what happens is that for whenever you need to do image recognition, OpenCV is used to find the images, and XTest is used to generate any events needed. Libcvautomation is mostly a wrapper to integrate both of these products, but also adds some functions like matchSubImage_X11() that allow you to match an image against the X11 root window in place. This means no more <tt>'xwd | convert "<out_name>"'</tt>.
|
||||
* \section using Using Libcvautomation
|
||||
* So how does one go about using libcvautomation? <br>
|
||||
* I'm so glad you asked! I've provided a few reference programs - \c cva-match and \c cva-input - that can be used to demonstrate most of libcvautomation's capabilities. I've even provided a BASH wrapper to make it incredibly easy to use BASH with libcvautomation as well (requires that cva-match and cva-input are installed). Python bindings are on their way too. <br>
|
||||
* Finally, if you want to know how to write your own application tests, please see \ref writing_app_tests for more information on that.
