Tutorial on Automation with Image Recognition Libraries - SikuliLibrary (and ImageHorizonLibrary)
Hélio Guilherme

This tutorial, is about using image recognition libraries to automate tasks or testing, when it is costly or difficult to obtain object identifiers in the applications under test.
We will use the libraries SikuliLibrary and ImageHorizonLibrary to automate applications we do not know about their internal components. This is what is called Black Box Testing.
We will practice automating a Login in a VMWare/VirtualBox Windows system and then doing some actions.
