Question
I'm developing an application for Tizen 3.0 TV and need to implement test automation. Specifically, I'm looking for:
- A tool that can launch my app on a real device
- Capability to automate test cases
- Preferably something similar to Android's Monkeyrunner
Could you recommend any available tools for this purpose? If such tools exist, I'd appreciate guidance on how to implement them.
