If you need to power off or restart any hardware control unit (Raspberry Pi, WingBox, or CandyBox), you should use one of the following methods to avoid any issues:
  1. From the context menu inside the list of Control units on Suitest web app
New actions for Control Units
  1. Using our Network API
Endpoints for Control units related actions
More details about the endpoints are on our Network API reference page.
Due to
changes introduced by TP-Link
in the authentication mechanism used by newer Tapo firmware,
Suitest is currently unable to authenticate
with some Tapo P100 and Tapo P110 smart plugs running the
latest firmware
. See the user documentation for more details.
Hi there!
We’re excited to introduce our new Agentic AI feature for element detection in HTML-based applications, designed to save you hours of manual work.
How does it work?

Using AI Sight
What does it cost?
During the promotional launch phase, AI Sight usage will be charged at a rate of 3 seconds per detected element, deducted from your testing minutes budget.
Great news!
You do not need Mac to control Apple TV devices anymore! No more struggles setting up the Xcode and Apple Configurator. That means that any SuitestDrive can be used, even on a Raspberry Pi.
Using a new driver is a simple as re-pairing the device:
  1. Go to the device details modal window
  2. Move to
    Settings
    tab
  3. Click re-pair
  4. A wizard opens in your browser with instructions
  5. On the Apple TV, go to
    Settings -> Remotes and Devices -> Remote App and Devices
  6. Confirm it inside the wizard in your browser
  7. Enter the code that appeared on the Apple TV into the wizard and confirm
You can use the new driver now.
  1. Download our WDA package
  2. Sign the package with your provisioning profile (see Apple Developer docs for more information)
  3. Create new Apple TV configuration and upload the signed package there
  4. Run a test with an Open app line only on each testing device
Due to the expiration of Samsung certificates, we are required to release an update of our Instrumentor tool on Monday, 3 November 2025. Normally, this update has no impact on our customers, however, it appears that Samsung has made some changes to their certificates. As a result, after this update, you may not be able to install apps on some of the Samsung Tizen devices (with Samsung Tizen 4.0 or older) unless you perform the actions described below.
Before using any of the Samsung tools, please make sure that SuitestDrive (where your Samsung Tizen device is added) is turned off.
  1. Open "Tizen Package Manager" tool and install any update if available. Check mainly "Samsung Certificate Extension" (version 2.0.74 or newer if available) due to this update.
  2. Open "Tizen Certificate Manager" and create a new "Certificate Profile" ("Samsung" type + "Partner" privilege).
  3. Open "Tizen Device Manager", connect to your Samsung Tizen device and right click on it and click on the "Permit to install applications". image Once it is done, disconnect from the device. image
  4. You may start your SuitestDrive again and auto-instrumentation/Suitestify should work as usual.
If you use Ottium and the app installation starts failing after this, please re-sign your app package with a newly created "Certificate Profile" and re-upload the package to Suitest.
We have just released
Ottium for testing Android applications
!
This means there's no need to instrument your Android apps anymore when testing on Android TV or mobile devices.
To get started:
  1. Make sure your SuitestDrive controlling the Android device is up-to-date.
  2. Select Ottium as the communication method in your app configuration.
  3. Re-upload your app package.
  4. Re-add your elements.
Note: Since Ottium uses standard Android platform tools, there are a couple of limitations compared to our Instrumentation library, e.g.:
  • The mouse selection tool isn’t available.
  • Video properties cannot be retrieved.
  • Fewer element properties can be retrieved.
Happy testing!
Ottium is the new Lite
Since launching in 2020 for Roku, our
Lite
method has become one of the most widely adopted ways to test OTT apps with Suitest.
But
Lite
doesn’t do this powerful method justice, so we’ve given it a name to match:
Ottium
.
Ottium is our non-intrusive, object-based testing method. It works out of the box on real devices, no instrumentation required, and
includes visual validation
when needed.
Therefore, if you’ve been using Lite, you’ve been using Ottium.
Ottium
is already available on most OTT platforms supported by Suitest (and we're working on the rest). It
does not require any instrumentation
, as it leverages standard tools provided by device manufacturers and platform providers.
Test with Ottium
already on
:
  • Android
  • LG webOS
  • Roku
  • Samsung Tizen
  • Sky
  • VIDAA
  • Vizio
  • Xbox
  • Xfinity
  • Xumo
Stay tuned, more platforms coming soon!
We've been asked about the specific model years and OS versions running on the devices in our Public Device Lab––so we've just added that information there!
