Suitest JavaScript API
Suitest is a test automation and device manipulation tool
for living room devices and web browsers.
With this JavaScript API you can create and run automated end-to-end tests
or write an automation plugin for other software.
Detailed API docs as well as other useful
resources about test automation are available on the
Suitest website. To use the API you'll need a
free Suitest account.
What is Suitest good for?
You can use Suitest for your end-to-end test automation, for operating physical
devices (like TV's or set-top boxes) in a remote office, for automating some of
your device maintenance tasks or for hunting down a nasty device-specific bug.

- Control and execute commands on multiple devices at once.
