What is SikuliX
SikuliX automates anything you see on the screen of your desktop computer
running Windows, Mac or some Linux/Unix. It uses image recognition powered by OpenCV to identify
GUI components and can act on them with mouse and keyboard actions.
This is handy in cases when there is no easy access to a GUI's internals or
the source code of the application or web page you want to act on. More details
Great thanks for the new logo and all the help with the new webpage to @Waleed Sadek
