Automated tests on Serenity

Quick start guide to integrate Automated tests in BrowserStack Accessibility Testing with Serenity.

Prerequisites

  • You have an account with BrowserStack (even a free trial works) and can get the username and access key from Account & Profile.
  • You have a pre-existing Serenity test suite integrated with BrowserStack Automate.
  • Maven is installed on your machine, its environment variables are set, and its bin is added to the system path, $PATH.
  • Serenity v2+, Java v8+, Selenium v2.5+ (JSON Wire / W3C).

Integrate with Automated tests

Follow these steps to get started with adding Automated tests to your test suite:

The minimum version of browserstack-java-sdk that supports Automated tests with Serenity is 1.23.4.

Install the latest BrowserStack Java SDK using Maven Archetype

Run the following command on your terminal/command prompt to add browserstack-java-sdk dependency and browserstack.yml file in your project.

Modify your browserStack.yml config file

Automated tests mandatorily need the following configurations in the browserstack.yml file. Especially, ensure to set the accessibility flag as true at the end of the browserstack.yml file.

The projectName and buildName config must be static and not change across different runs of the same build. This is a deviation in approach as specified by BrowserStack Automate since Automated tests will automatically identify different build runs.

  • Accessibility testing runs only on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 100 & above on Automate.

  • Window handle commands might cause instability to Automated Tests. If you face issues, consider removing window handle commands or contact support.

Add serenity-browserstack dependency in pom.xml

Add serenity-browserstack as Maven dependency in your pom.xml file and save the file.

This dependency adds the Serenity BrowserStack plugin to your project.

Set up serenity.conf file

Since project uses the Serenity BrowserStack plugin, set the remote URL and add your BrowserStack credentials in the serenity.conf file of your project.

Run your test suite with Automated tests

You can continue running your tests as you have been previously. The command to run your tests using the BrowserStack SDK remains unchanged.

You can check the Accessibility report for your build through the Automated tests page.
