Hi!
Karsten Loesing:
- Install Sikuli (http://www.sikuli.org/; thanks for Lunar for the
suggestion!) either directly on these machines or on the virtual machine host or on a separate host in the same network.
- Write a Sikuli script for each operating system and language,
probably re-using large parts, to make all the necessary steps to download, verify, and run Tor Browser. This script may include steps for preparing the system by changing its language and for cleaning up afterwards. Ideally, this script can easily be maintained whenever Tor Browser changes.
I had a quick chat with intrigeri based on their experience with using Sikuli to automate Tails testing. He told me they had issues with the OCR system and that they opted for having captured images everywhere in the end. Having to update images on new Debian releases is a bit of a pain but seems to be a manageable exercice.
It saddens me a bit because having working OCR would be super awesome in that the same script could be used for multiple languages by looking at the actual software translation catalogs… So it might be worth experimenting a little bit again.
- Record audio snippets in the various language that explain the
steps that will later be performed in the screencast. Either include these as part of the Sikuli script, or put them together separately and add them to the recording later.
I think it's worth experimenting a little bit with starting the audio tracks as part of the script. It would make it easier to put synchronisation point in the script, and it might smooth out timings in different languages more nicely.
Are there scripts (as in a textual description of the scenes and voice over) already written down somewhere?
