Selenium series: running tests on mobile devices

In this blog post, Matthew Casperson discusses the integration of mobile browser testing into a Selenium WebDriver test framework using BrowserStack, with a focus on testing with Chrome on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The article provides a detailed explanation of creating a decorator class, BrowserStackAndroidDecorator, to set the desired capabilities for running tests on mobile devices, and how to use this class within the AutomatedBrowserFactory. Casperson outlines the process of configuring environment variables for BrowserStack credentials within IntelliJ's JUnit settings to streamline the testing process across various devices. The post highlights the flexibility of WebDriver in accommodating a wide range of devices through simple decorators, while also acknowledging the need to address edge cases when testing across different browser environments.
