Automation of testing for a set top box that uses a IR remote control

Asked by Dhivya S

I'm currently working on a project for automation of testing.
I need to test the various functionalities of set top box when connected to a tv or a monitor.
As sikuli could help only GUI based testing, (GUI that is controlled by mouse and keyboard operations), will it help automising the testing of this set top box that is controlled by a remote..
Is there any way of customizing sikuli script such that it automises remote control behaviours like channel up,down and etc.
I have the xml file that has the functionalities of set top box remote.

Since you need features, that are not supported by Sikuli, there is no need to use it.

Using Sikuli without using its features is the same as using Jython (Python language, Java based) directly.

So I think, you should look at something like RobotFramework, since it delivers the testing framework being able to integrate the test cases written in many different languages (incl. Python/Jython and Java).

If you later decide, that Sikuli features are needed, It will be rather easy, to add the access/usage of Sikuli's API (Python level and/or Java level)

Can you help with this problem?
