Does there exist any kind of a simple MacOSX utility that can take a given image and find whether the image is on the screen (perhaps with a certain variance threshold) and then automate a position of the mouse cursor and/or click on the area which matches the image? Please don't respond about how this is a terrible idea and shouldn't be done. This is an important task for testing and cannot be easily accomplished by triggering events or the like.

And, for the record, this really isn't such an awful idea. It's actually a neat one, seeing as how some things are, like you said, easier scriptable this way. – Wuffers Feb 5 '11 at 3:56

Yes, Sikuli. It does just what you want, looks for images and clicks them. It uses a simple scripting language so it can do other things, other than just clicking. Such as typing into a text box.
