Accessibility Automation on NUnit

Quick start guide to integrate Accessibility Automation with NUnit

Pre-requisites

  • You have an account with BrowserStack (even a free trial works) and can get your Username and Access Key from Account & Profile.
  • You have a NUnit test suite which runs on BrowserStack Automate.
  • You are using .NET version 5.0 or above and NUnit version 3.0.0 or above.

Integrate with Accessibility Automation

Follow the steps below to get started with adding Accessibility Automation to your test suite:

Install or update to the latest version of BrowserStack.TestAdapter

Go to your NUnit project’s root directory and run the following commands to install the BrowserStack.TestAdapter from nuget. The NUnit 3 Test Adapter allows you to run NUnit 3 tests inside Visual Studio or with dotnet on the command line.

Terminal
dotnet add package BrowserStack.TestAdapter
dotnet build

Please ensure that you have at least BrowserStack.TestAdapter v0.2.1 before proceeding.

The BrowserStack SDK for C# is currently not available on Mac computers with the M1 and M2 chip architecture.

Create the browserstack.yml file

If you don’t already have a browserstack.yml file, run the following command to create one:

Terminal
dotnet browserstack-sdk setup --username 'YOUR_USERNAME' --accessKey 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY'

Set up the browserstack.yml file

Set up the browserstack.yml file as follows:

The projectName and buildName config must be static and not change across different runs of the same build. This is a deviation in approach as specified by BrowserStack Automate since Accessibility Automation will automatically identify different build runs.

browserstack.yml
userName: YOUR_USERNAME
accessKey: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
projectName: "Your static project name goes here"
buildName: "Your static build/job name goes here"
...
accessibility: true

Accessibility testing will only run on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 95 & above on Automate.

Run your suite with BrowserStack Accessibility Automation

Continue running your tests as you have been running previously. The command to run your tests using the BrowserStack SDK remains unchanged. For your reference, here’s a sample command:

Terminal
dotnet test --filter <EXPRESSION> [other_args]


Once the build has completed and the Accessibility report is ready, it will automatically get sent to the Accessibility Automation dashboard.
