Abstract: Abstract Android set-top boxes, often known as STBs, have emerged as a popular option for streaming and viewing digital content. Testing Android STBs, however, can be extremely difficult due to the complicated hardware and software configurations they require. In addition to being time-consuming and error-prone, manual testing can be exceedingly costly. Because of this, automation testing has emerged as a possible solution to the problems that have been identified. This article presents an overview of the current state of the art in automation testing for Android STBs from a technical perspective. This article highlights the difficulties typically connected with testing Android STBs, the advantages of automation testing, and the various tools and methods utilised for automation testing. Integrating AI and machine learning approaches are explored to demonstrate the potential for increasing efficiency and adaptability in Android STB automation testing. The findings contribute to the evolution of testing techniques for Android STBs by providing insights into tool selection, performance optimisation, and future approaches for intelligent automation. In addition, the article provides an overview of recent research conducted in this area and an analysis of the current and future directions that automation testing for Android STBs will take.
