Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site.""At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development.""This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple 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.""It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices.""When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration.""With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes.""Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms."

"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual.""It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good.""The most valuable feature is the UI component tester.""Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."

Cons
"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.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices.""There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""A problem that we are facing quite often is related to the network connection. Tests can fail if the remote CrossBrowserTesting's VM has connection problems. This happens mostly with browsers of Internet Explorer family which work on Windows OS.""Sometimes the testing is slow."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support.""They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool.""The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run.""If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
  • "A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
  • "CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
  • "It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
  • "SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."

  • "Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
