 # testunit-browserstack
+=======================
+
 Selenium examples for TestUnit and BrowserStack Automate
+
+This repository provides information and helpful tweaks to run your TestUnit tests on the BrowserStack selenium cloud infrastructure.
+
+###Configuration
+Add rake, test-unit, browserstack-local gems into your Gemfile.
+Run `bundle install`.
+
+### BrowserStack Authentication
+
+Export the environment variables for the username and access key of your BrowserStack account.
+These can be found on the automate accounts page on [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/accounts/automate)
+
+`export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username>`
+
+`export BROWSERSTACK_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>`
+
+
+###Run tests
+* Single Test: `rake name_of_test ` Example: `rake windows_firefox_40`
+You see the other tests in the rakefile.
+* Parallel Tests: `rake parallel_test`
+* Local test: To run local tests, just set the `browserstack.local` capability to true in the test.
+
+###Further Reading
+- [TestUnit](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.8.7/libdoc/test/unit/rdoc/Test/Unit.html)
+- [BrowserStack documentation for Automate](https://www.browserstack.com/automate/ruby)
+
+Happy Testing!
