Configuring capabilities

To let TestingBot know on which browser/platform you want to run your test on, you need to specify the browsername, version, OS and other optional options in the capabilities field.

FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
		new URL("https://key:secret@hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub"),
		DesiredCapabilities.firefox()
);

To see how to do this, please select a combination of browser, version and platform in the drop-down menus below:

1. Select a Platform
Windows 10

2. Select a Browser
Internet Explorer 11

• Windows 10
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 8
• Windows 7
• macOS High Sierra
• macOS Sierra
• OS X El Capitan
• OS X Yosemite
• OS X Mavericks
• Linux
• iOS Simulators
• Android Emulators

Testing Internal/Staged Websites

We've built TestingBot Tunnel, to provide you with a secure way to run tests against your staged/internal webapps.
Please see our TestingBot Tunnel documentation for more information about this easy to use tunneling solution.

The example below shows how to easily run a Java WebDriver test with our Tunnel:

1. Download our tunnel and start the tunnel:

2. Adjust your test: instead of pointing to 'hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub' like the example above - change it to point to your tunnel's IP address.
Assuming you run the tunnel on the same machine you run your tests, change to 'localhost:4445/wd/hub'. localhost is the machine running the tunnel, 4445 is the default port of the tunnel.

This way your test will go securely through the tunnel to TestingBot and back:

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
	DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
	capability.setCapability("platform", platform);
	capability.setCapability("browser", browserName);
	capability.setCapability("browserVersion", browserVersion);
	capability.setCapability("name", "Parallel test");
	driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
		new URL("http://key:secret@localhost:4445/wd/hub"),
		capability
	);
}

Other Options

We offer many other test options, for example: disable video recording, specifying a custom Firefox Profile, loading Chrome/Firefox/Safari extensions, running an executable before your test starts, uploading files, ...
See our list of test options for a full list of options to customize your tests.

Pick a Java test framework

• JUnit

  Junit is a unit testing framework for the java programming language

• Parallel JUnit

  By running multiple JUnit tests at the same time you can cut down on overall test time

• TestNG

  TestNG is a framework similar to JUnit and NUnit, which supports some additional commands and features
