Testing Video Files with test complete
Hi, Do test complete provides solution to test video files for its quality, pixel ratio, etc.. of video files. Thanks, Deva Veluchamy.

Sounds like it should be an intelligence comparison that should be done by a human.
It would be nice to have metrics that could measure "smoothness" and the like, but you're right. That won't likely be automatable until true AI is on tap.
That being said, is there any way to log or capture video for the person who is reviewing the test log to evaluate?
Hi,
Not been actively involved in this type of testing, so just a quick idea that came:
It might be acceptable for the quick smoke verification to get several frames at the known moments of time (say, every minute from the video start) and compare then the captured frames with the expected ones.
Obviously, the result depends on at least the used video codec.
Several links found by quick googling that might appear to be relevant:
