Airtest Project vs AltTester

Airtest Project is a UI automation testing suite for games and apps, launched by NetEase Games. Its Airtest framework uses image recognition for cross-platform automated tests; Poco identifies UI controls and can retrieve their hierarchy while an app is running. Airtest supports Windows, Android, and iOS. Poco works with Android and iOS native apps and several game engines, including Unity3D, cocos2dx, UE4, and Egret. A Selenium plugin uses Chrome DevTools Protocol to record and generate scripts and access web elements. AirtestIDE is a cross-platform editor with Airtest and Poco plugins. Scripts are written in Python, and the documentation recommends basic Python knowledge. The free community version includes Airtest, Poco, and AirtestIDE. Airlab adds test case and script management, scheduling, cloud reports, and mobile regression and compatibility testing. Enterprises can choose a private cloud deployment, with price provided after needs are confirmed. Downloads are listed for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu.
