Video Recording

Every test run on the BrowserStack is recorded exactly as it is executed on remote device. This feature is particularly helpful whenever a test fails - it helps you see the entire test in action. You can access these videos from the App Automate dashboard.

Video logs are enabled by default. Note that video recording slightly increases the text execution time. To disable video recording, you need to set the video parameter to false in the REST API request to start XCUI test execution.

Example cURL request :

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/xcuitest/build" \
-d '{"video":false, "devices": ["iPhone 8 Plus-11"], "app": "bs://f5L3azt9pLzE995f49376eb1fa3c284dc321f8d", "testSuite": "bs://6eb1fa3c284ddbe9971b2d1aee0d52943b9c081"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Access video recording from the dashboard

You can view the video recording for every test case execution from the test details page of App Automate dashboard
