Running Tests on BrowserStack​

To execute tests via Device Cloud

  • Select Configure and Run

  • In the "Mobile Devices" section, select "Device Cloud" from the dropdown menu.

  • Choose the desired BrowserStack connection from the "Device Cloud" dropdown.

  • Select the specific devices from the BrowserStack device pool that you want to use for testing.

  • Choose one of the following app upload options:

    • Use App Build from This Machine: For locally built apps, upload directly to BrowserStack during test execution.
    • Use Cloud Uploaded App: Upload the app once to BrowserStack's cloud storage and reuse it across multiple tests.

  • Select the app version that you want to test from the "Choose App Version available in cloud" dropdown.

Once configured, you can initiate the test from DevAssure. The platform will connect to the selected device(s) on BrowserStack, upload necessary test data, and execute the tests in BrowserStack’s cloud environment.

info

BrowserStack retains uploaded apps in cloud storage, making them available for reuse across multiple test executions without re-uploading. This streamlines repeated testing efforts.
