Test runs

Test runs are an important component for tracking and managing the testing process. Our REST API provides comprehensive endpoints for handling test runs, enabling you to automate and streamline your testing workflow. With these endpoints, in a project, you can access list of test runs, create new test runs, and add test results to test runs.

Get test runs list

GET /api/v2/projects/{project_id}/test-runs

Invoking this API will fetch the list of test runs in a project associated with your username and access key. You will need the id of the project to access its list of test runs.

Request Parameters

Request

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
https://test-management.browserstack.com/api/v2/projects/PR-1/test-runs

project_id^* String

Identifier of the project.

Response Attributes `200 OK` `json`

    }
  ]
}

active_state String

State of the test run.
run_state String

State of the test run. The valid states are new_run, in_progress, under_review, rejected, done, and closed.
assignee String

Email of the test run assignee.
created_at String

The time the test run was created on BrowserStack servers.
Identifier String

Identifier of the test run.
name String

Name of the test run.
project_id String

Identifier of the project.
test_cases_count Integer

Count of number of test cases.

Create test run

POST /api/v2/projects/{project_id}/test-runs

Invoking this API will create test runs programmatically, providing flexibility and automation in managing your test cycles. To create a test run, you will need the id of the project in which the test run should be created. If you need to link this test run to a test plan, you will require the id of that test plan.

You can apply filters to get only the test cases you want. Attributes-based filtering allows for selecting test cases by matching one or more attribute values passed as query parameters. When you provide multiple values for the same query parameter, any one value must match the specified attributes. This means that an OR operator applies within the query parameter. On the other hand, if you include multiple attribute values across different parameters, an AND operator is used across these different parameters. This requires all conditions to be met for a match.
