DevOps Automation

IBM DevOps Test UI (abbreviated as Test UI) offers an integration with BrowserStack Real Device Cloud. You can view Test UI unified reports, examine passed/failed steps including screenshots, and download reports.

What Is BrowserStack Real Device Cloud?

BrowserStack Real Device Cloud is a cloud web and mobile testing platform that provides users with the ability to test their websites and mobile applications across different browsers, operation systems, and real mobile devices.

What Are the prerequisites?

1. You must have an active BrowserStack account. To set up your account to access the BrowserStack Real Device Cloud follow these instructions: https://www.browserstack.com/users/sign_up
   
   
2. You must have a valid Access Key. This key is available under the ACCESS KEY tab on the BrowserStack dashboard.
   
   
3. You must have a Web UI Test recorded on a mobile web browser. Refer to “Recording a test with Google Chrome Device Mode” in the product documentation.
   
   

   With the prerequisites in order, follow the procedures to integrate BrowserStack with Test UI:
   
   What are the procedures?

   1. Open the UI Test perspective in Test UI, if it is not already open.
      
      
   2. Navigate to Window -> Preferences -> Test -> Test Execution -> UI Test Playback. The UI Test Playback pane is displayed.
      
      
   3. Select the Mobile Device Cloud tab and enable the checkbox for BrowserStack host. Keep the hostname as it is.
      
      
   4. Enter the User Name and API key from the ACCESS KEY of the BrowserStack Cloud account to authenticate the connection. (Refer to point number 2 from the prerequisites section)
      
      
   5. Select the BrowserStack project from the drop-down list or enter an appropriate name for the project.
      
      
   6. Click on the Apply and Close button.
      
      
   7. Click on the Run Test button to trigger the test execution.
      
      
   8. The Run Configuration dialog displays, and you will see the available browser instances from the BrowserStack Real Device Cloud Platform. Select the targeted browser device on which you wish to execute the test.
      
      
   9. Click on the Next button and then the Finish button.
      
      
   10. Once the execution starts, then you can see the progress of the test execution of the selected device along with the screenshot in the Unified report.
       
       

What Else Does DevOps Test UI Do?

The Test UI also allows you to execute the test on several devices and browsers of BrowserStack Real Device simultaneously. To do so select the Run on several devices and browsers in parallel check box at the time of execution under the Run Configuration dialog box and select multiple browsers and devices.

Test will execute simultaneously on multiple browsers and devices and the Unified report will display the report for each device.

Examples from iPhone 12 & iPad Mini 2019 appear in the screenshot.

In a nutshell, Test UI provides you the platform to integrate the BrowserStack Real Device Cloud with Test UI and trigger the test execution from Test UI, where you can make sure on which BrowserStack Real Device Cloud the Test execution got passed and failed.
