JUnit-XML based Espresso report

Using the terminal, you can create JUnit-XML based reports from Espresso and upload them to Test Management.

Executing a Test Case with Espresso

You can initiate an Espresso project with this git repository. Use this sample code to execute a Test Case.

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
@LargeTest
public class EspressoAndroidTest {

    @Rule
    public ActivityScenarioRule<MainActivity> activityRule =
            new ActivityScenarioRule<>(MainActivity.class);

    @Test
    public void correctWordMatch() {
        onView(withText("Hello World!")).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
    }

    @Test
    public void wrongWordMatch() {
        onView(withText("Hello world!")).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
    }
}

Create test report with Espresso

Espresso by default generates a JUnit-XML report. Run the following command to execute test run and generate JUnit-XML report.

./gradlew connectedAndroidTest

Sample JUnit-XML report generated from Espresso.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<testsuite name="com.example.espressosample.EspressoAndroidTest" tests="2" failures="1" errors="0" skipped="0" time="6.207" timestamp="2023-07-04T08:10:26" hostname="localhost">

  </testcase>
</testsuite>

Steps to upload the JUnit-XML test report

Open the project directory in the Terminal and load the variables.

export TEST_MANAGEMENT_API_TOKEN="*************28a42"
export TEST_MANAGEMENT_PROJECT_NAME="<Project Name>"
export JUNIT_XML_FILE_PATH="<Report Path>"
export TEST_RUN_NAME="<Test Run Name"

Upload the JUnit-XML test report using curl command.

curl -k -X POST https://test-management.browserstack.com/api/v1/import/results/xml/junit \
-u $TEST_MANAGEMENT_API_TOKEN \
-F project_name="$TEST_MANAGEMENT_PROJECT_NAME" \
-F "file_path=@$JUNIT_XML_FILE_PATH" \
-F test_run_name="$TEST_RUN_NAME"

You can also upload JUnit-XML test report with Espresso using CI/CD.

Access the test run report from the console generated URL

After your report is successfully uploaded, you see a message similar to the following in your terminal. This message also generates a URL with "url" parameter that you can use to access your automated test run.

{"message":"File uploaded successfully.","url":"https://test-management.browserstack.com/projects/<project id>/test-runs/<test run id>","success":true}

View test run report in Test Management

1. Log in to the BrowserStack Test Management dashboard.
2. Select the relevant project that has the test report uploaded.
3. Click Test Runs.
4. Open the Test Run generated from automation test exectution.
5. You will find all the test cases with their respective results here.
