Getting Started

Getting Started with Appium tests in NodeJS on BrowserStack couldn't be easier!

Run your first test :

Open Android or in ios folder

• If you have uploaded your app then add the app id to the browserstack.yml config file, or you can directly specify the path to your app in the browserstack.yml file.

• Run npm run sample-test

• You can access the test execution results, and debugging information such as video recording, network logs on App Automate dashboard

---

Use Local testing for apps that access resources hosted in development or testing environments :

Open Android or in ios folder

• Ensure that browserstackLocal capability is set to true in the browserstack.yml file.

• If you have uploaded your app then add the app id to the browserstack.yml config file, or you can directly specify the path to your app in the browserstack.yml file.

• Run npm run sample-local-test

• You can access the test execution results, and debugging information such as video recording, network logs on App Automate dashboard
