Test-suites

In order to test your native and hybrid apps on BrowserStack using Espresso, you also need to upload your test-suite (.apk file) to BrowserStack servers. Use our REST API endpoints to upload and manage your test-suites on BrowserStack.

Upload a test-suite

POST /app-automate/espresso/v2/test-suite

Upload an Espresso test-suite (.apk file). There are two ways to upload the test-suite :

  1. Upload from filesystem : Use this option if your test-suite resides on your local machine or CI/CD server.
  2. Upload using public URL : Use this option when the test-suite is hosted on a remote server (e.g. S3 bucket) and its downloadable via a publicly accessible URL.
