Tender description
The BBC is looking to explore the opportunities for automating the testing on physical TV devices (devices with screens, HDMI output).

The requirements are broken down into 4 main areas: - Device Interaction – The ability to interact with a TV device, navigate through the user interfaces and capture the relevant video and audio outputs - Analysis – Perform analysis on the output from device interaction, and determine if tests have passed or failed based on pre-set criteria - Manual Control – Manual control of a device from an off-site location to allow for in depth exploration of the TV user interface and applications installed on the device - Test Management, Integration & Test Results – Management of testing, integration into BBC systems and hosting requirements
