Abstract Gesture and motion play an important role in computer games. This paper reveals about automation testing for gesture and motion-based interaction on play station4 and to provide a single automation test setup for multiple devices of same family. Generally, play station 4 gesture controls are tested manually by using move motion controller which leads to tedious effort of building a gesture and motion test. The proposed system provides low cost and effective automation test solution for gesture and motion-controlled devices. The created platform ‘TAGMED’ - Test Automation for Gesture and Motion Enabled Devices, a test automation tool to provide automation testing through the gesture and motion input simulation to play station4 gaming consoles. The automation test solution has robotic arm tweaked to handle PS4 MOVE controller and simulate gesture input on testing device, the platform captures the corresponding output, compares the captured output with the expected output and provides the report. This helps in bringing better accuracy of recognition, repeatability and defect less testing.
