Cross-platform testing has accelerated releases and now needs smarter AI-driven test creation
The best features that BrowserStack offers include the ability to run manual and automated tests on real devices. We can create bugs, integrate it with other platforms like Jira or Azure, and use self-healing scripts with Selenium. We also have the test runs for different versions or with different frameworks, not just Selenium but with Playwright as well. Additionally, there are real-time dashboards and notifications sent when tests fail or when we need screenshots or recordings of test executions, and we can easily integrate this into our pipelines. BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by providing an out-of-the-box solution for whole test executions across different projects for our automobile customers. We have worked on around twenty to thirty projects, and the need for a stable, customizable single test execution platform that supports different platforms has been met. It has helped manage the entire quality assurance of the product efficiently. The measurable improvements due to BrowserStack include a significant efficiency gain, allowing the whole team to collaborate on testing and communicate faster. Also, the easier integration with project management tools has been beneficial. The documentation of findings has improved, which helps us share insights with different project stakeholders.

Cross-platform testing and faster execution enhance testing efficiency
Don't worry about anything. Just go for it. There will not be an issue, as far as you know what you are buying and how you want to use it. Go for it, the platform is good. I rate the solution eight out of ten due to some areas needing improvement. I rate the overall solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found that BrowserStack is stable."
"I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT. This involves testing the registration process, including receiving verification codes on devices and phones. BrowserStack has been excellent for testing these integrations, providing a seamless workflow development experience."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously."
"The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing."
"Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The integration is very good."
"BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by saving money that would be spent on buying new devices."
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
 

Cons

"One improvement I observe is that iOS automation is not feasible due to some configuration issues, although it serves as a great tool for cross-browser testing."
"Improvements for BrowserStack could include better usability when working under a private network or a VPN, since it can be challenging to access restricted URLs."
"Customer support could be better. We tried to implement and explore this product with the vendor or reseller's help, but we haven't had any good response about the product."
"I would like to see clearer visibility."
"While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA."
"BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico."
"Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones."
"I think a possible improvement for BrowserStack could be adding features such as sending SMS or making FaceTime calls because, as far as I know, those features are not available at the moment."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fine."
"The price of BrowserStack is high."
"BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."
"There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."
"This solution costs less than competing products."
"My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."
"As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."
"Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
