Dynamic device capability on Automate

Use regular expression to select a device for Selenium testing on BrowserStack Automate. Test on 3000+ devices on our real device cloud.

You can use regular expressions (regex) to select devices to test on, instead of providing specific device models in your capabilities. Based on the regex you pass, an available device is dynamically allocated from the available device pool that matches your specifications.

This approach not only affords you greater flexibility in test device selection, but also eliminates testing queues induced by device tier limits. Moreover, by broadening your search criteria using regular expressions, you can expedite your tests with an expanded device coverage, thereby enhancing test execution speed and efficiency.
