Customize test history grouping

Learn how to customize the grouping of tests in your test history.

By default, BrowserStack groups tests based on the test name, device, OS, and other parameters. However, you can customize the test grouping to maintain a consistent history, even when device or browser versions change.

Customizing test history grouping is particularly useful if you want to group tests based on specific criteria or if you want to ignore certain parameters.

How to customize test history grouping

When you customize the test history grouping, you have three options to select for device, OS, and browser:

• Use Exact Value: Groups tests based on the actual platform the test ran on.
• Use Configured Value: Groups tests based on the value configured in the test history grouping settings using regular expressions (eg: deviceName: Samsung Galaxy A52|Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro|Google Pixel 6 Pro, platformVersion: 1[012], platformVersion: 1.*, platformVersion: 1[2,3]4, deviceName: ^(?=Oppo.*|Huawei.* ).*) in your config file.
• Ignore: Ignores the value when determining the test history grouping.

To customize the test history grouping, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > General.
2. Scroll down to the Test History Grouping section.
3. Select an option for devices: Use Exact Value, Use Configured Value, or Ignore.
4. Select an option for OS: Use Exact Value, Use Configured Value, or Ignore. You can also select an option for OS version if you are not ignoring the OS completely.
5. Select an option for browser: Use Exact Value, Use Configured Value, or Ignore. You can also select an option for browser version if you are not ignoring the browser completely.
6. Click Save changes to save your configuration.
7. Click Confirm to confirm your changes.
