How to run selenium automated tests on lambdaTest in cloud

Running Selenium automated tests on LambdaTest involves configuring your tests to use LambdaTest's cloud infrastructure as the Selenium Grid. Here's a step-by-step guide to running Selenium tests on LambdaTest:

Prerequisites:

1. LambdaTest Account: You need a LambdaTest account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for free on their website.

2. Selenium WebDriver Tests: You should have your Selenium WebDriver tests ready.

3. LambdaTest Credentials: Obtain your LambdaTest username and access key, which can be found in your LambdaTest account settings.

Step 1: Update Your WebDriver Configuration

Update your WebDriver configuration to use LambdaTest as the remote WebDriver grid. Set the `remote` URL to LambdaTest's hub URL and provide the desired capabilities, including your LambdaTest username and access key.

Example for Java (using TestNG):

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import java.net.URL;

public class LambdaTestExample {

    private WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeMethod
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");
        capabilities.setCapability("version", "latest");
        capabilities.setCapability("platform", "WIN10");
        capabilities.setCapability("build", "Your Build Name");
        capabilities.setCapability("name", "Test Name");

        // Set LambdaTest credentials
        capabilities.setCapability("user", "your_lambdaTest_username");
        capabilities.setCapability("accessKey", "your_lambdaTest_access_key");

        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("https://hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub"), capabilities);
    }

    @Test
    public void testExample() {
        driver.get("https://www.example.com");
        // Your test code here
    }
}

Step 2: Run Your Tests

After updating your test code, you can run your tests using your preferred test runner or build tool. For TestNG, you can run tests using the TestNG XML file or directly from your IDE.

Step 3: View Test Results in LambdaTest Dashboard

Once your tests are executed, you can view the results, screenshots, and other details on the LambdaTest dashboard. The results will provide insights into the test execution, including passed, failed, and skipped tests.

Please make sure to replace `"your_lambdaTest_username"` and `"your_lambdaTest_access_key"` with your actual LambdaTest credentials.

LambdaTest offers various configurations and devices for testing. You can customize your desired capabilities to match your specific testing requirements. For more information and advanced capabilities, refer to LambdaTest's official documentation and their capabilities generator tool.
