Managing Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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

"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."
"The setup was quite simple. The website easily explains how to set it up and if you want to integrate it with BMP tools there are online simple step tutorials."
"BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from."
"I like that it offers full device capability."
"The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing."
"BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that we don't have any surprises, especially on smaller devices."
"Local testing for products with no public exposure is an advantage in development."
"It's helpful for me to test on different devices."
"LambdaTest was handy and easy enough to save us a lot of time, effort, and money."
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"LambdaTest is a saving soldier for our company by offering us thousands of browsers and platforms to test on the cloud."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
 

Cons

"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."
"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."
"BrowserStack sometimes works well and other times it is very slow."
"Sometimes connectivity can be a problem. We will be in the middle of testing and we will lose connectivity sometimes."
"Initial set-up is easy, but if you start with automation, it's bit confusing and I found it tough to set-up."
"While I was testing I was not 100% sure it was properly mimicking the browsers or not."
"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."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
