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.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BrowserStack positively impacts my organization by saving time in the QA testing process and clarifying the mission, which is important."
"The solution has many benefits, we are not worried about maintaining devices locally in our organization."
"For BrowserStack, it's helpful for me to test on different devices."
"BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that we don't have any surprises, especially on smaller devices."
"It just added some flexibility. There was nothing that improved our coding standards, etc. because all of our UIs were functional before we tried it."
"The most valuable features are the variety of tools available."
"The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing, enabling us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously, and geolocation and globalization testing are valuable as well."
"I can organize test scripts pretty well."
"Helps us to reduce the workload to check the system."
"It has allowed more thorough testing with performance-based testing, in addition to regression testing and regular testing with each software release."
"Implementation of Oracle Application Testing Suite package has increased the overall efficiency."
"My advice to others is if they are using any Oracle Cloud Fusion-based or on-premise-based application, this is a good solution to use."
"For a few years, OATS was the only tool that allowed us to load test our Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) with Siebel."
"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."
"It's user friendly and in-built API support makes it very easy to automate or develop an automation framework."
 

Cons

"We had some execution issues."
"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."
"The solution is slow."
"Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier."
"Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones."
"We are struggling to do local testing."
"BrowserStack is very expensive and they keep increasing their cost, which is absolutely ridiculous, especially when someone like LambdaTest is coming through for literal thousands of dollars less, with the same services."
"There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"I think that licensing policies could be more intuitive; when we installed this application for the first time, we couldn't understand why there were only two users."
"Improvements can be made in a number of protocol support areas, including enhanced Citrix support."
"I have faced issues with some indexing items."
"There is one piece of functionality that is currently not offered and would be very good to have: Support for Digital Certificates authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO)."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"I would rate their technical support 2.5 out of ten."
"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"The price of BrowserStack is high."
"Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."
"BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."
