Abstract

The aim of the article is to compare the tools for automating user interface tests on the example of Sikula and AutoIT. The conducted research has focused on the time of testing scripts, their complexity, ease of maintenance and reliability. For the purposes of the study, an application in C # was created and several representative automatic tests were written in each tool.
