LambdaTest Capability Map to Migrate from BrowserStack & SauceLabs

Introduction

Besides LambdaTest, BrowserStack and SauceLabs also offer the cloud-based Selenium Grid. Migrating your BrowserStack or Sauce Labs tests to LambdaTest requires a few tweaks in your code. In this guide, we'll look at what changes that have to be made for easy migration to LambdaTest.

Changes to be made

Authentication

Firstly, you need to change the authentication in the configuration settings of your test suite. For running tests on LambdaTest Selenium Grid, you need to have a valid user_name and access_key to perform tests on our cloud Grid. In case you don’t have an account on LambdaTest, visit the LambdaTest signup page and create a new account.

The following are the changes in the parameters:

Username
Access Key

You can find the Username and Access Key in the LambdaTest Automation Dashboard.

When migrating from BrowserStack or SauceLabs to LambdaTest, you need to make the following changes in the existing code:

UserName
AccessKey
Hub URL
Desired Capabilities

Here is a side-by-side comparison of each of the fields that we have highlighted above:

Property	Type	LambdaTest	BrowserStack	SauceLabs
UserName	String	UserName to access Selenium Grid on LambdaTest	UserName to access Selenium Grid on BrowserStack	UserName to access Selenium Grid on Sauce Labs
AccessKey	String	AccessKey to access Selenium Grid on LambdaTest	AccessKey to access Selenium Grid on BrowserStack	AccessKey to access Selenium Grid on Sauce Labs
Hub URL	String	@hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub	@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub	ondemand.us-west-1.saucelabs.com/wd/hub

Authentication

userName = "LambdaTest_UserName"
accessKey = "LambdaTest_AccessKey"

Mapping of Capabilities

The following capabilities from the other Cloud platforms (BrowserStack and SauceLabs) will be mapped automatically in the LambdaTest platform.
