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.

Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.
Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The product is easy to use."
"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
 

Cons

"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"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."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."
"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."
"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
