GuiBuh (it's a German pun ^^) introduces an automated testing solution that attaches to an audio host (Reaper) to solve this problem. It combines image processing to verify the GUI states of an audio plugin, alongside audio null tests that verify DSP consistency across application versions. While GuiBuh […]
