Integrate your test suite with BrowserStack

BrowserStack’s JUnit 4 SDK supports a plug-and-play integration. Run your entire test suite in parallel with a few steps!

Prerequisites

  • An existing automated test suite.
  • Junit v4, Java v8+, selenium v2.5+ (JSON Wire / W3C).
  • Maven is installed on your machine, Maven environment variables are set, and Maven bin is added to the system path, $PATH.

Looking for a starter project? Get started with our JUnit 4 sample project.

Integration steps

Based on the method you use to build your project, complete the steps in the following tabs to integrate with BrowserStack.

Install BrowserStack Plugin

On the Eclipse toolbar, click Help > Eclipse Marketplace.

In the Eclipse Marketplace, search for BrowserStack > click Install > Finish. Search for BrowserStack plugin

Configure your test suite with BrowserStack SDK

BrowserStack plugin automatically adds the browserstack-java-sdk dependency to your pom.xml file and generates a browserstack.yml configuration file.

Right-click on your project folder > BrowserStack > select Integrate with Automate SDK. Eclipse Integrate with Automate SDK

Select your Project Folder, Framework, and other BrowserStack Parameters, and then click Integrate.

Framework: junit4
BrowserStack User Name: YOUR_USERNAME
BrowserStack Access Key: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

Eclipse BrowserStack Parameters

Update your BrowserStack config file

Update your browserstack.yml config file at the root level of your project. This file holds all the required capabilities to run tests on BrowserStack.

Set platforms on which to test

Set the browsers/devices you want to test under the platforms object. Our configuration follows W3C-formatted capabilities.

Platform Browser
Linux Firefox
Linux Chrome
Linux Edge

Set number of parallel threads per platform

The parallelsPerPlatform property determines the number of parallel threads to execute. BrowserStack’s SDK runner selects the best strategy based on the configured value.

Example 1: If you have configured 3 platforms and set parallelsPerPlatform to 2: a total of 6 (3 x 2) parallel threads will be used on BrowserStack.

Example 2: If you have configured 1 platform and set parallelsPerPlatform to 15: a total of 15 (1 x 15) parallel threads will be used on BrowserStack.
