Appium For Couch Potatoes - An HbbTV Driver
summary
Built an Appium driver that automates HbbTV apps by injecting JavaScript via a DevTools backend proxy and mapping WebDriver commands to Chrome DevTools calls, deploying one Raspberry Pi per TV as a Raspberry Pi grid. Tests run in Jenkins in parallel and expose concrete failures: an app’s scripts inflate from ~450KB expected to ~1.5MB and a mining function blocks the main thread ~1.5s causing timeouts. Code and driver are open source as a working prototype.
