Run dynamic tests

App Automate supports running dynamic (runtime generated) tests if you are using any third-party libraries, for example, XCTest+Gherkin, Cucumberish, etc.

If your XCUI tests are written in a BDD feature file format, they might include certain dynamic tests. Dynamic tests use test data that is discovered during runtime.

Set the capability

Set the dynamicTests parameter to true and specify the fully-qualified test names in the only-testing parameter when running an XCUI test.

Ensure that you use the only-testing parameter when using the dynamicTests parameter in the cURL command, without which the cURL command fails to run.

The following sample cURL command shows the parameters used to run dynamic tests on iPhone 8 Plus with iOS 11.0:

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/xcuitest/v2/build" \
-d '{"only-testing": ["testsBundleName/className1/testName1", "className2/testName2"], "dynamicTests": "true", "devices": ["iPhone 8 Plus-11.0"], "app": "<app_id>", "testSuite": "<test_suite_id>"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

The following table lists the parameters used in a cURL request for running dynamic tests:
