Yes, you'd need to integrate with the BrowserStack SDK in the language/framework that you use. But, having said that, you need not use the SDK to run your Automate/App Automate tests, to be able to use Test Reporting & Analytics.
Consider the following example: You run tests on BrowserStack Automate using your own CI setup without any BrowserStack SDK. Now, to use Test Reporting & Analytics, you'll need to use the BrowserStack SDK but you need not make any other changes to your test setup. You can simply achieve that by setting browserstackAutomation: false in the browserstack.yml config file of SDK.
