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

"The most valuable features are the variety of tools available."
"The most valuable feature was that it was very easy to connect to our web-application without much additional configuration."
"We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product guides and resources are extensive and very helpful."
"More than a feature, it was the hardware support that we were able to get through the interfaces, and this helped us address a very rare requirement that had come up within our end customer's stack."
"The solution has many benefits, we are not worried about maintaining devices locally in our organization."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"It’s good to see, now that we are using LambdaTest, we can run multiple tests on multiple VMs, saving us hours of testing time and the maintenance cost of local infrastructure."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"LambdaTest proved to be a savior for us here, as one platform does the job!"
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
 

Cons

"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."
"My experience with pricing was that it was a bit on the higher side, around three hundred dollars per user per month, and I hoped it could be reduced."
"One improvement I observe is that iOS automation is not feasible due to some configuration issues, although it serves as a great tool for cross-browser testing."
"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."
"If you are inactive for 30 minutes, the solution will close."
"Improvements for BrowserStack could include better usability when working under a private network or a VPN, since it can be challenging to access restricted URLs."
"I didn't appreciate much about the stability; there have been times that BrowserStack was really, really slow, and that's why I am looking into a different tool."
"I think a possible improvement for BrowserStack could be adding features such as sending SMS or making FaceTime calls because, as far as I know, those features are not available at the moment."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
"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."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."

"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
