Cross Browser Testing On Cerberus Using LambdaTest’s Cloud Based Selenium Grid

Cerberus Testing is an open-source tool that helps you cover the complete test cycle from a single place. It can be used for both Automation testing, as well as Manual testing.

LambdaTest now provides an integration with the Cerberus Testing tool, to help you perform cross-browser testing on over 2000 real desktop browsers, mobile viewports, and operating system combinations. With this document, you will learn how to integrate LamndaTest with the Cerberus Testing tool and get started with your first test.

Setting Up LambdaTest As The Executor Robot

Inside your Cerberus Testing tool, you need to set up LambdaTest as your Test Executor. So follow the below steps to set up LambdaTest as your Executor Robot:

1. Click on ‘Create’ a new Robot

   

2. Enter the Robot name as per your choice, such as “LambdaTestChrome85Win”. Also choose the platform, browser, browser version and screen size of your choice.
   
3. You can also add optional desired capabilities of your choice, in the Capabilities tab. To know more about Desired Capabilties, you can refer to our guide on our Capabilties Generator.
4. Then switch to Executors tab, and click on “Add Executor”.
   
5. In this Add Executor window, you need to pass following values to their corresponding options, as stated below:
   Host: hub.lambdatest.com Port: 80 Host User: <your LambdaTest username> Host Password: <your LambdaTest access key>

   1 2 3 4

   Host: hub.lambdatest.com Port: 80 Host User: <your LambdaTest username> Host Password: <your LambdaTest access key>

   

   To get your LambdaTest username and access key, please refer here.

Once you are done, just click on the Create button and the LambdaTest Robot executor will be created successfully, and will look something like this:

Executing Your Cerberus Test On LambdaTest

Since you have the LambdaTest Executor ready, you can now execute your tests from Cerberus directly on the LambdaTest platform. To do so:

1. Select your test from the “Run Test Case” section of Cerberus tool. For this demo purpose, we have used the existing sample test case available, as shown in the image below

   

2. Then you need to select the environment, and country of your choice, in which you want to run the test case.

   

3. Then you need to select the executor for your test case, in the Robot Settings section. Here, you need to select the earlier created LambdaTest Executor, from the list of available Robots.

   

4. You can also fill in optional environment details, as per your choice. Then click on the Run TestCase (and See Results) button to execute your test case.
   

Now if you open your Automation dashboard, you can see your Cerberus test case running as per the chosen Robot Executor details.

Once the test is complete, you can view the result of the test on LambdaTest, with all its details. You can view logs, mark bugs, and do much more for each executed test from your LambdaTest platform. To explore more about the LambdaTest’s Automation Dashboard, refer this guide.
