Room For Improvement

BrowserStack needs better connectivity, speed, pricing, integration, real-time testing, mobile file upload, customization, and accessibility support.
Qt Squish needs improvements in object identification, testing stability, integration, and enhanced support for non-Qt applications while addressing pricing and speed issues.
BrowserStack is very expensive and they keep increasing their cost, which is absolutely ridiculous, especially when someone like LambdaTest is coming through for literal thousands of dollars less, with the same services.
Test Software Development Engineer at uShip, Inc.
Going forward, one way BrowserStack could improve is by incorporating AI concepts to create tests automatically from provided URLs or user intentions, generating scripts without needing users to write automation scripts.
Managing Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.
Vice President at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
If you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java.
Software Test Engineer at Infrabel
 

Setup Cost

BrowserStack's pricing is seen as higher but cost-effective, offering customizable plans and user-based licenses for enterprise buyers.
Qt Squish receives mixed reviews for its pricing, with high costs and inflexible licensing compared to other tools.
pricing was that it was a bit on the higher side, around three hundred dollars per user per month.
Managing Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
For the developer license, it is about $5200 a year.

Valuable Features

BrowserStack's features enhance testing by providing speed, automation, real device access, and integration, improving performance and reducing defects.
Qt Squish is a versatile UI testing tool praised for cross-platform support, Python compatibility, and seamless CI integration.
The device farm is one of the positive impacts we have seen from using BrowserStack. We get to run our automation against their full suite of devices, which alleviates the uplift of manual testing.
Test Software Development Engineer at uShip, Inc.
BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by helping us reduce the human capacity by 50%, with that reduction mostly being in manual testing efforts.
Chief Executive Officer & Founder at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
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.
Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
For the parts that have been automated in Qt, not everything is suitable for automation.

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.

Testing solution supports Java testing with good reliability
There is nothing you can do for almost every application. If you do it for a single version, it is rather easy. However, if you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java. You need to set up some special environment variables to be able to do that.
