My task is to create an automated testing for our web-based dashboard. I need to know how to loop and use .csv to avoid hard coded type of coding. Also I need to know how to automate by using text reading type of searching in Sikuli. Thank you!

Are you planning to use the Sikuli IDE to setup scripts using Python language?

What is your scripting/programming knowledge?

Did you already play around with EggPlant?

In every scripting and programming environment, there are modules/libraries available, that allow to read and write CSV files.
Python: https://docs.python.org/2/library/csv.html

SikuliX has a text search feature and an OCR read function based on Tesseract.
Read the docs about the possibilities
http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

and be aware: the text feature has many restrictions and quality issues (read about in this Q&A and the bugs)

Yes, I'm planning to use Sikuli IDE.

I have a knowledge in Java and my team have tried EggPlant and they want me to research for another testing tool.

Thank you for helping me again Sir Raiman, I will read the links and will consult again. Thanks!
