Integrate Your Test Suite
Integrate BrowserStack Automate into your test suite using the BrowserStack Intern.
The BrowserStack Intern ensures a plug-and-play integration. It manages your BrowserStack local connections and configures other connections under the hood without any code changes.
Prerequisites
- BrowserStack Username and Access key. You can find this in your account profile. If you do not have an account yet, you can sign up for a Free Trial.
- Node.js v12 or higher installed on your machine.
- Intern v4 and above.
Integration steps
Update your intern.json file
Update your intern.json configuration file with the given parameters to run tests on BrowserStack.
At the end of this step, you will have a sample configuration file with BrowserStack capabilities to use in your project.
Set platforms to test on
Set the browsers/devices you want to test inside the environments object.
The latest-beta version of browsers is currently not supported by Intern.
BrowserStack Reporting
You can leverage BrowserStack’s extensive reporting features using the capabilities:
Set the build name as the name of the job/test suite being run
Set a project name for your project.
Use additional debugging features
By default, BrowserStack provides prettified session logs, screenshots of every failed command, and a video of the entire test. Additionally, you can enable the following features:
Use Automate Turboscale
Set grid name as the name of the Turboscale grid. Accepted characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ., :, -, [], /, @, &, ‘, _. All other characters are ignored.
Character limit: 255
Update configuration file with selected capabilities
Copy the given code snippet and add it to the configuration file of your test suite.
Run your test suite
Your test suite is now ready to run on BrowserStack. Use the commands defined in your package.json file to run the tests.
Next steps
After you have successfully run your first test on BrowserStack, you might want to do one of the following:
- Generate a list of capabilities that you want to use in tests
- Find information about your Projects, Builds, and Sessions using our REST APIs
- Set up your CI/CD: Jenkins, Bamboo, TeamCity, Azure, CircleCI, BitBucket, TravisCI, GitHub Actions
