What can Suitest do for me?¶
Suitest can help you organize and automate your testing process and device inventory. You can use it for your end-to-end testing, for operating TVs in a remote office, for accessing devices shared by others, for automating some of your device maintenance tasks or for hunting down a nasty device-specific bug.

Why test automation?¶
Because testing software by hand nowadays is not at all an easy task. More so when it comes to TV applications where you need to cope with the inconsistencies between devices. And also because it is comforting to know exactly which part of the app have been tested and where. And also because it's kind of cool to watch this automation in action.
In a manual testing process the main pain point is obviously the repetition. Repetition is boring and bored people tend to loose concentration which leads to more mistakes. On the other hand doing software test automation usually involves a certain amount of programming skills. Suitest gives you the power of test automation in a slick attractive interface packed with visual tools for creating effective test automation without writing a single line of code.
So how does it work then?¶
So basically: Suitest helps you record your interaction with the app and add assertions in order to check the app behaviour. Speaking in technical terms, this recording is actually an end-to-end test. With Suitest you can replay this test as many times as you want, on as many devices as you want. So every time your application changes Suitest can execute the entire test suite and report the results. Consequently, if you have a good test coverage Suitest will ultimately help you to effortlessly answer the million dollar question:
Will my app run correctly on all of my target devices?
You will definitely appreciate the power of Suitest if you have ever been in any of the following situations:
- You'd like to test your app on many devices quickly.
- You'd like to be able to operate a device in remote facility.
- You'd like to rent a particular remote device for short term or repeated testing.
- You are porting to another pl atform or device and need a retest quickly.
- You make frequent updates to your app and you need to make sure, that the update will not break anything.
Suitest makes handling any of the above ridiculously easy and saves you a lot of time, effort and resources. And because it has been developed with the non-technical people in mind, even your manager will be able to use it and to marvell at it.
