Defining a Testing Platform for Smart TV Applications

Abstract

The goal of the final year project was to study and describe the testing platforms for applications on Smart TVs. This included the whole process of testing of the functionalities of applications before actually releasing them to the public. Additionally, this project addressed the importance of testing during the development of an application.

To reach the goal, two testing platforms were chosen which were Opera TV Store and Samsung TV Store. Two HTML5-based apps named Myapp and Tryapp were tested in Opera and Samsung TV Store respectively. The errors and bugs in these apps were de-termined during the process of testing.

As a result of this thesis, issues during the development of an app can be detected and they can be fixed to ensure the functionality of the application. Thus, this thesis is useful for someone who is interested in developing an app for Smart TV. Moreover, this thesis can be helpful for students who want to publish their app in Opera TV Store and Samsung TV Store.
