AltTester vs T-Plan Game Test Automation

AltTester is a freemium game test automation tool for projects built with Unity or Unreal Engine. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and uses a hybrid test environment. Listed target platforms are PC, Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, WebGL, and Nintendo Switch. AltTester Lite specifies one connection across PC, Mac, Android, iOS, and WebGL. AltTester Pro specifies two parallel connections and macOS, Windows, and Linux CI/CD batchmode. The product has a free plan, a 30-day trial, and paid access from €75/user/mo when billed annually. AltTester was founded in 2018. Its published details focus on running automated game tests across supported engines, operating systems, target devices, and connection configurations.

T-Plan Game Test Automation automates game tests by interacting with the game’s graphical interface. Image recognition checks objects on screen, so testing does not depend on application code; the vendor says this approach supports games made with Unity and Unreal Engine. The software runs externally without source-code changes or instrumentation. On iOS, it requires two runtime files, but no code changes.

Record and Playback captures test scripts for execution across devices and machines. Users can schedule runs, define workflow rules, and pass custom parameters for decision handling. Listed integrations include Jenkins, GitHub, TestRail, Jira, Eclipse, NetBeans, and REST API access. Supported targets include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS; the testing page also lists Unix and Solaris. T-Plan Robot starts at £200 per month when billed annually, and a 14-day trial is listed. A Development licence is required before buying Execution licences; five Execution licences permit five live connections at once.
