Benefits of Cycle's Terminal

Why should a testing application use a custom terminal emulator compared to simulating the users' interactions or using a telnet emulator such as Putty? Cycle’s custom terminal emulator allows for much more robust and dynamic testing of terminal emulators by reducing the level of effort required creating the test scripts. Cycle allows users to interact with the terminal emulator in ways that would not be possible when using Putty, such as determining if text is located on the screen or where the cursor is located, copying text from the emulator for use in Feature Files, and running many terminal emulators from the same Cycle instance.
