Run a sample Junit 5 test build using your preferred method on BrowserStack:
Get Sample Project
Get our sample project using one of the following options:
Option 1: Download Project
After downloading the sample project, unzip it in the desired location, and open the junit-5 directory.
Configure your browserstack.yml config file
The browserstack.yml file holds all the required capabilities to run your tests on BrowserStack. It is found in your project’s (android/ios) root folder and is part of downloaded sample.
Set access credentials

Use one of our sample apps to run your first Appium test on BrowserStack App Automate. Choose from the options below:
Update the browserstack.yml config file
Copy and replace the platforms object in the browserstack.yml file.
You can also pass regular expressions (regex) in deviceName and platformVersion capabilities if your device selection is more flexible. Check out how to use regular expressions to specify device attributes.
Run sample tests on BrowserStack!
Based on the devices and app selected, cd to the right project, install dependencies, and run a sample test build on BrowserStack
cd android
