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.

Quality Specialist 2A at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Has reduced manual testing effort with customization options but occasionally crashes during complex executions
One improvement would be to integrate it with modern technologies such as AI, so we can generate test cases by providing the details so that it can generate the structure, and later the person working can modify and enhance it. We can add more customized tools, and reporting can be enhanced. Currently, the reporting part is at a step level, and it does not give details for a particular test case, so improvements in those areas would be beneficial. There are performance issues where the tool crashes sometimes. In particular use cases with numerous steps, it experiences crashes. I have encountered stability and performance issues with it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"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!"
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"One of the most valuable features I found in Parasoft SOAtest is its ability to extend the product."
"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"Technical support is helpful."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"Parasoft SOAtest improves the quality of the application, increases security and security compliance, and it is a cost-effective tool."
 

Cons

"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"One area that could use improvement is the cryptography capabilities in Parasoft SOAtest. It did not support enough of the protocols or cryptography formats we needed, which led us to create our own solutions."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."

"The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
