It would be cool concept to use it for automation testing in that a QA person can write UI test case just based on the visual changes on the webpage, without bothering about the backend working. This could open up automation to the 'non coding' QA crowd. i think though that Sikuli's uniqueness stems from that you don't have to know the code behind the UI but only the visual changes in the UI can be used to trigger events. Woudn't it be cool if you have a page tracking the Stock market graph and you (without even having any widget from that site) go ahead and add a horizontal line and put in few lines of Sikuli code saying that alert me if the stock graph intersects the added line.

Could this be used for automation testing? May be I need to understand more of its application as published by the authors. Unique concept for sure.
