Integrating Selenium with Pcloudy

To run Selenium tests on Pcloudy, replace your local Selenium driver with the Pcloudy RemoteWebDriver and configure Pcloudy-specific capabilities.

Required Pcloudy Capabilities

Authentication & User Details

Capability	Description
Pcloudy_Username	Registered email ID (Public Cloud) or Cloud URL (Private Cloud)
Pcloudy_ApiKey	API key generated from Pcloudy
clientName	Registered email ID

Capability	Description
os	Platform OS (Windows, Mac, Linux)
osVersion	OS version (e.g., Windows 11, Sequoia)
browserName	Browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
browserVersion	Browser version to be tested

You can download the sample project from the GITHUB (https://github.com/Smart-Software-Testing-Solutions-Opkey/Pcloudy-sample-projects/tree/master/selenium/java)

Sample Selenium Capability Configurations

E.g

Windows – Chrome

Java
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");

HashMap<String, Object> pcloudyOptions = new HashMap<>();
pcloudyOptions.put("userName", "abc@company.com");
pcloudyOptions.put("accessKey", "abc_api_key");
pcloudyOptions.put("os", "Windows");
pcloudyOptions.put("osVersion", "11");
pcloudyOptions.put("browserVersion", "142");
pcloudyOptions.put("clientName", "abc@company.com");
pcloudyOptions.put("seleniumVersion", "4.26.0");
pcloudyOptions.put("project", "Web_Release");
pcloudyOptions.put("build", "Build_2.1");
pcloudyOptions.put("name", "Signin_Test");
pcloudyOptions.put("tag", "Staging");
pcloudyOptions.put("local", false);
pcloudyOptions.put("Pcloudy_EnableVideo", false);

capabilities.setCapability("pcloudy:options", pcloudyOptions);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
new URL("https://browser.device.pcloudy.com/seleniumcloud/wd/hub"),
capabilities
);

E.g

Mac – Safari

Java
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "safari");

HashMap<String, Object> pcloudyOptions = new HashMap<>();
pcloudyOptions.put("userName", "abc@company.com");
pcloudyOptions.put("accessKey", "abc_api_key");
pcloudyOptions.put("os", "Mac");
pcloudyOptions.put("osVersion", "Sequoia");
pcloudyOptions.put("browserVersion", "18");
pcloudyOptions.put("clientName", "abc@company.com");
pcloudyOptions.put("seleniumVersion", "4.26.0");
pcloudyOptions.put("project", "Web_Release");
pcloudyOptions.put("build", "Build_2.1");
pcloudyOptions.put("name", "Signin_Test");
pcloudyOptions.put("tag", "Staging");
pcloudyOptions.put("local", false);
pcloudyOptions.put("Pcloudy_EnableVideo", true);

capabilities.setCapability("pcloudy:options", pcloudyOptions);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
new URL("https://browser.device.pcloudy.com/seleniumcloud/wd/hub"),
capabilities
);

Execution

Once the capabilities are configured:

Initialize the RemoteWebDriver
Execute your Selenium test scripts
View execution logs, videos, and reports from the Pcloudy dashboard

Summary

Pcloudy enables scalable Selenium automation on real browsers
No infrastructure maintenance required
Supports parallel execution
Easy integration using RemoteWebDriver and capabilities
