Last time I looked at it, a few years ago at FOSDEM, one issue to me, at |
52 |
least for testing release builds, was that it relied on fingerprint of |
53 |
images and time delays. To me it would make more sense to get a "console" |
54 |
and grep the output for relevant strings. |
55 |
I don't know if / how it evolved, so this might no longer be true. |
