BrowserStack is a tool that lets you test websites on over 3,000 real devices and browsers. By combining BrowserStack with Marker.io, you can make bug reporting much easier. If you've ever asked, “Which browser were you using?” with this setup, you won't have to ask again!
Setting Up BrowserStack Integration
Before you dive in, make sure the Marker.io widget is installed on the website you’re testing. If you’re not sure how to do that, check out our Get Started guide for help.
Once the widget is installed, you're all set to capture issues directly from BrowserStack.
Why Integrate BrowserStack with Marker.io?
This integration makes it easy to send complete and accurate bug reports with just a few clicks. Here’s what’s included automatically when you submit an issue using Marker.io on BrowserStack:
Data Captured Automatically | Details |
Page URL | The exact URL where the issue occurred |
Browser Information | The browser type and version |
Screen Size | The resolution and size of the screen used during testing |
Operating System (OS) | The OS details (e.g., Windows, macOS, etc.) |
All this information helps your developers reproduce the bug quickly, so they can fix it faster. On top of that, the entire BrowserStack session gets attached to the issue inside your project management tool.
Real-World Example: How It Works
Imagine you’re testing on a Mac with Google Chrome using BrowserStack. When you find an issue, Marker.io captures all the key details, like the OS, browser, and screen size.
Below is a sample issue page within Marker.io containing the BrowserStack session information, including the OS and Browser used during the reported issue.
Sample PM/Issue Tracker page
The BrowserStack device information is also sent to the PM/Issue tracking tool you integrated with. For example, a sample Trello issue is below.
Wrapping Up
To get the most out of BrowserStack and Marker.io, just make sure the Marker.io widget is installed on the website you’re testing. From there, Marker.io will automatically detect and include all the relevant BrowserStack device details in your bug reports.
