  Looking for inexact matches

  In this tutorial we learn how to match the background of a menu’s selection indicator, regardless of the text inside the selection. We show you how to tweak stb-tester match parameters, how to test this offline (on your own PC) using stbt-docker, and how to debug image-matching problems.

  Using Frame Objects to extract information from the screen

  In this tutorial we use stbt.FrameObject to extract information from the screen, and we use stbt lint and stbt auto-selftest to test our Frame Objects very cheaply.

  Navigating a menu

  In this tutorial we use the Frame Object we created in the previous tutorial, to create a function that knows how to navigate the main menu. This demonstrates how you can use stb-tester’s Python API to build complex behaviours into your test scripts, in a maintainable way.
