## What it is
Gemini is a Node.js CLI utility for visual regression testing of web pages, capturing screenshots of page elements via Selenium WebDriver and comparing them against reference images. It is deprecated and users should use its successor, Hermione (now Testplane).

## Use cases
- visual regression testing for web pages
- screenshot comparison testing across browsers
- catch unintended CSS changes in UI components
- test specific sections of a web page for visual regressions
- gather CSS test coverage statistics
- cross-browser visual testing with Selenium

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy project already using Gemini
- you specifically need its CSS coverage statistics feature

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use Testplane (formerly Hermione) instead
- you need active maintenance or modern browser support
- you need visual testing outside the Selenium/WebDriver ecosystem
