Suitest Expands Software-First Vision for OTT Testing and...

19/08/2025

Suitest, a leading provider of test automation for OTT applications, today announced that it will unveil the next chapter in its software-first approach to OTT testing and monitoring at IBC2025. In Amsterdam, Suitest will debut a new wave of capabilities across AI-driven automation, device infrastructure, and visual and non-intrusive testing. These innovations build on the momentum created by the company's WingBox and further position Suitest as the leading platform for real-device testing, remote operations, and full-stack QA visibility.

As streaming services scale to support more platforms, devices, and release cycles, the pressure on testing teams continues to grow, said Mirko Nedeljkovi , CEO at Suitest. At IBC2025, we're showcasing a software-first approach to OTT testing reducing complexity not by cutting corners but by eliminating technical, financial, and operational bottlenecks. Our smarter testing and monitoring tools empower teams to scale remote testing and live monitoring effortlessly as they develop content, enabling faster, more intelligent workflows.

AI Sight: Intelligent Element Detection

The debut of AI Sight marks the first step on Suitest's AI automation roadmap. AI Sight uses a hybrid object-visual model to detect and validate UI components with extremely high accuracy, dramatically reducing the manual overhead traditionally required to define test targets. By identifying elements contextually across layouts and platforms, AI Sight accelerates test creation, increases test resilience, and improves maintainability as applications evolve. This innovative new solution allows teams to work faster while keeping tests stable across the entire platform stack without sacrificing precision.

Smarter Infrastructure for Real-World Scale

Suitest continues to evolve its infrastructure layer to support seamless testing and monitoring at scale. Traditionally, testing and monitoring requires external cameras and controlled lighting. This can now be achieved through direct smart TV mainboard access enabling lossless, high-quality streaming with ultra-low latency. These capabilities are available across both the Suitest public device cloud and privately hosted device labs, giving teams consistent access and remote control regardless of geography. The public device cloud, powered by the Suitest framework, supports automation scripts built with open-source tools like Appium and will soon support Stb-tester.

From a single QA station to a rack of devices in a data center or NOC, Suitest supports deployments of any scale with full IP-based access, direct ultra-low latency streaming, and device- and app-level performance metrics. Android is the first supported platform for these metrics, with additional platforms on the roadmap. Earlier this year, Suitest demonstrated the scalability of this approach during a remote interoperability HbbTV Plugfest with Chinese TV manufacturers showing that distributed, real-time testing is no longer just a vision for the future but operational today.

Ottium: Non-Intrusive Test Automation for all OTT Devices

Suitest's non-intrusive testing approach now formally branded as Ottium has evolved into a cross-platform automation solution for the entire OTT landscape. Ottium offers object-based testing without app instrumentation, enabling QA teams to automate across platforms without modifying source code or embedding SDKs removing a major barrier to scaling automation in real-world environments. Already deployed across major platforms, most recently for Android TV and Fire TV, Ottium is further extending to Apple TV with Suitest's new tvOS driver, which will be demonstrated at IBC2025. This implementation is a game changer, solving one of the biggest challenges facing OTT app developers by eliminating the need for Xcode and macOS hardware.

Ottium delivers the same core capabilities as open-source frameworks like Appium including functional test execution, platform-level control, and precise object targeting while going further with built-in visual validation, reusable tests across OTT platforms, live store app and device firmware testing, video artifact detection, and full remote control and access to real devices. Together with visual testing and Suitest's instrumentation, Ottium forms part of a unified platform that delivers visual regression, object-level assertions, and deep platform control all with minimal setup and maximum flexibility.

From lightweight deployments to full-scale labs, Suitest provides the control, visibility, and flexibility teams need to test and monitor real applications on real devices wherever they are. Suitest will showcase Ottium and visual testing on Android, Fire TV, and Apple TV; AI Sight; Stb-tester running on WingBox; streaming from TV mainboards; and video artifact detection via Suitest Camera app at IBC2025, Sept. 12 15 in Amsterdam in booth 14.A66.
