Stb-tester issues commands to the device-under-test in the same way a real user does (typically using an infrared remote control).

Stb-tester then checks the behaviour of the device-under-test by analysing the device's video output.

For an overview of stb-tester's capabilities, see the videos at https://stb-tester.com/videos/.

Testcases are written in the Python programming language. They look like this:

def test_that_i_can_tune_to_bbc_one_from_the_guide():
    stbt.press("KEY_EPG")
    stbt.wait_for_match("Guide.png")
    stbt.press("KEY_OK")
    stbt.wait_for_match("BBC One.png")
    stbt.wait_for_motion()

See the Python API documentation for more details.
