Stb-tester ONE

The Stb-tester ONE is an appliance for creating and running automated test scripts for a set-top box. Plug the set-top box into the Stb-tester ONE and you can use the web interface to run tests.

We built the Stb-tester ONE to solve the real-world challenges of automated UI black-box testing. We use it ourselves, every day, on our various test automation projects.

For more information see the introductory video and the Stb-tester ONE user manual.
