SikuliX is a scripting language and a tool of the same name for carrying out automated software tests of graphic user interfaces (GUIs) using screenshots of the software to be tested. SikuliX is compared to automation software such as Selenium , iMacros , Kantu or AutoHotkey and, like them, can be used to remotely control websites or application software under Windows , Mac OS X and Linux . Testing and remote control of iOS and Android applications is also possible via a simulator or Virtual Network Computing (VNC) .

SikuliX is a Jython -based visual scripting API for creating automation scripts . SikuliX contains an integrated development environment (IDE) for the visually supported writing of scripts based on screenshots.

Development of the open source project began in 2009 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has been continued since the end of 2012 in the Sikuli Lab established for this purpose at the University of Colorado Boulder . The project is supported by the US government organization National Science Foundation and the Taiwanese private company Quanta Computer .
