1. A computer-implemented method for communicating issues of programmed display for reproduction, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a local device that at least partially controls one or more set-top box (STB) devices, a workflow for visual testing of one or more displays, wherein content displayed on the one or more displays is controlled, at least partially, by the one or more STB devices, wherein the workflow includes test scenarios associated with one another in a logically directed graph form, and wherein at least one test scenario of the test scenarios includes one or more logical expressions that specify one or more visual expectations of content expected to be displayed for the at least one test scenario and connect the at least one test scenario with at least another test scenario in accordance with the directed graph form;
executing, by the local device that at least partially controls the one or more STB devices, the test scenarios;
identifying at least one visual testing issue based on the executing of the test scenarios; and
communicating the workflow and the at least one visual testing issue to a remote device for reproduction of the at least one visual testing issue.
