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.

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"BrowserStack positively impacts my organization by saving time in the QA testing process and clarifying the mission, which is important."
"BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization primarily through time savings because it is very easy to use and replicates physical devices for testing, which is crucial since we usually do not have physical devices."
"BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that we don't have any surprises, especially on smaller devices."
"It is a scalable solution."
"BrowserStack has helped us with automating our test cases by reducing the time by almost 60%."

"More than a feature, it was the hardware support that we were able to get through the interfaces, and this helped us address a very rare requirement that had come up within our end customer's stack."
"LambdaTest was handy and easy enough to save us a lot of time, effort, and money."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."

Cons

"I think false positives are an area where BrowserStack can improve, as I have often seen things working fine on actual devices, but on BrowserStack devices, issues arise due to network slowness or AWS region connectivity problems that cause lag."
"One of the biggest issues with BrowserStack is that if you don't have your network set up by the book, it's hard to get it to work with local desk machines."
"Sometimes BrowserStack is really slow and devices are not loading. it is really annoying and that's why we bought several newer devices because sometimes it's affecting us a lot."
"BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster."
"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico."
"Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
