Integrate Your Test Suite with BrowserStack
Integrate BrowserStack into your test suite using the BrowserStack Node SDK — a plug-and-play solution that takes care of all the integration steps for you!
Integration steps
Install BrowserStack Node SDK
Install the BrowserStack SDK using npm for your CodeceptJS based test suite for plug-and-play integration with BrowserStack.
The npx setup command generates a browserstack.yml file at the root location of your project with your access credentials already configured. It also adds new command(s) in your package.json file to run tests on BrowserStack.
Configure your browserstack.yml file
The auto-generated browserstack.yml file situated in the root location of your project holds all the required settings to run tests on BrowserStack.
Run your test suite on BrowserStack
Your test suite is now ready to run on BrowserStack! Run the commands added under the scripts property section in the package.json file. Here is an example command:
If you don’t see any new commands, make sure you ran npx setup correctly or contact support for assistance.
