CrossBrowserTesting Reviews

Manual and automated (Selenium) continuous testing of development and production websites to protect against broken code deployments.

• We no longer need to have a full QA team.
• Testing is more quickly and reliably reproduced. 
• Scheduled daily tests assist in catching any bugs which fall through the cracks and make it to the production environment.

• Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users.
• The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues.

A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites.

We primarily use CrossBrowserTesting to troubleshoot front-end issues in various browsers and devices.

CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier.

The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots.

I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same. For example, I have had to figure out how to get to Safari or whatever program I needed. If these issues were resolved, it would be a huge improvement. 

I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems.

My primary use for this product revolves around simulating various mobile and tablet responses to company web apps on an internal FT environment.

Initially what attracted us to the product was that it was a lot faster than what we previously used to simulate our tests. Aside from speeding up our processes, it also allowed us to tie in our automated test scenarios and integrate our reporting tools to make the entire process efficient and hassle free. This helped FT past our quality gates and confidently deliver our products past and on-time.

I am a big fan of the clean, uncluttered layout of the site on landing as well as the aids given to you when testing mobile products, especially the keyboard posting tools which negate tapping out my individual data entries. The extensive range of products available to simulate is also something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests (something no FT tester should sneer at).

Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up, as I still sometimes experience lag, which no one loves.

The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.
