Integrate BrowserStack Automate with Testsigma

This document guides you with the step-by-step process to run Testsigma tests on BrowserStack.

Introduction

Testsigma accelerates testing with a script-less, no-code approach for test automation. Integrating Testsigma with BrowserStack will help you to run the Testsigma recorded test scripts on 3000+ real devices and desktop browsers.

In this guide, you will learn to:

• Configure the BrowserStack plugin
• Run your first test

Pre-requisites

• BrowserStack Username and Access key, which you can find in your account settings. If you have not created an account yet, you can sign up for a Free Trial or purchase a plan.
• Access to Testsigma account.
• A recorded test script using the Testsigma recorder is available.

Configure the BrowserStack plugin

The BrowserStack plugin helps configure your BrowserStack credentials in Testsigma, and is used to run tests on BrowserStack.

1. Go to your Testsigma dashboard and click Settings > Plugins.
2. Click the Test Lab tab, and enable the BrowserStack plugin.
3. Add your BrowserStack Username and Access key, and then click Create.

Run your first test

Run your test on BrowserStack by completing the following steps:

1. Go to your test cases in Testsigma that you want to run on BrowserStack and click Run.
2. In the Ad-hoc Run section, select the BrowserStack option.
   
   
3. In the Select Test Machines section, select the OS-browser combination on which you want to run your test.
4. In the Desired Capabilities section, you can add any additional capability supported by BrowserStack.
   
   If you want to organize your automated tests by projects and builds, you can use the project, build, name, and buildTag capabilities.
   
   For example, if you are working on your new e-commerce website and want to run your test named Check iPhone 12 in cart for the Alpha 0.1.7 build, you can pass the additional capabilities, as shown in the following image:
   
   
5. Click Run Now to run the test.
   
   Your test starts running in BrowserStack, and you can monitor the test in real-time on your Browserstack Automate dashboard.
   
   

All the test sessions with the same build name are grouped inside the same build on Browserstack.
