Philosophy
IcuTest is not a record-and-playback system. Such systems can produce test scripts that are difficult to maintain. Rather, IcuTest believes that the most effective place to test is within the unit test.

Usage
A typical IcuTest provides direct control of the app under test. Here is an example that ensures that the ViewModel is correct.
ICU.CheckView is the main testing (or Assert) mechanism in IcuTest. It performs a fast bitmap comparison between the current UI snapshot and a previously stored snapshot. Like an Assert, CheckView throws an exception when a test fails.
IcuTest offers higher level tools specifically designed to help GUI testing. Here is an example that illustrates:
