Graphical user interface (GUI) testing is an important branch of software testing. Using capture-replay technology to automate GUI testing can effectively improve efficiency and save costs. However, most of the traditional capture-replay tools capture their GUI elements through the API of the SUT (System Under Test) and depend on the openness of the API; the generated scripts usually involve the internal code of the GUI elements, and the readability is not good. In this article, we proposed a capture-replay technology based on the open source tool-Sikuli, which can generate scripts with good readability based on the testers' operations and can record and playback any visual interface.
