Test Screenshots

This directory contains screenshots captured during graphical tests.

File Format

Screenshots are saved as raw binary data in RGB565 format:

  • 2 bytes per pixel
  • For 320x240 screen: 153,600 bytes per file
  • Filename format: {test_name}_{hardware_id}.raw

Converting to PNG

Quick Method (Recommended)

Use the provided convenience script to convert all screenshots:

cd tests/screenshots
./convert_to_png.sh

For custom dimensions:

./convert_to_png.sh 296 240

Manual Conversion

To view individual screenshots, convert them to PNG using ffmpeg:

# For 320x240 screenshots (default)
ffmpeg -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 320x240 -i screenshot.raw screenshot.png

# For other sizes (e.g., 296x240 for some hardware)
ffmpeg -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 296x240 -i screenshot.raw screenshot.png

Visual Regression Testing

Screenshots can be used for visual regression testing by:

  1. Capturing a "golden" reference screenshot
  2. Comparing new screenshots against the reference
  3. Detecting visual changes

For pixel-by-pixel comparison, you can use ImageMagick:

# Convert both to PNG first
ffmpeg -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 320x240 -i reference.raw reference.png
ffmpeg -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 320x240 -i current.raw current.png

# Compare
compare -metric AE reference.png current.png diff.png

.gitignore

Screenshot files (.raw and .png) are ignored by git to avoid bloating the repository. Reference/golden screenshots should be stored separately or documented clearly.
