Automation in testing processes sees improvement with multi-browser support and easier website interactions
Selenium HQ could improve by including a robust reporting framework, eliminating the need for external frameworks. The tool could simplify object identification, enabling users to generate XPaths without requiring detailed DOM understanding. Additionally, an automatic update mechanism for Selenium HQ would be beneficial, eliminating the need for manual downloads and updates of browser drivers when new versions are released.

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 tool supports most of the features you want to automate and the stability of the executions is good too."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment took about seven months."
"Its biggest advantage is that it is very customizable."
"We designed the Omani-channel automation framework, and achieved the maximum testing coverage includes localization (approximately 19), environment (web and mobile [iOS and Android]), and browser."
"In my opinion, it is a complete end-to-end solution."
"Tests can be automated fairly quickly and across the main browsers therefore you can get results in less than a week."
"Selenium HQ is scalable - you can execute on multiple browsers in parallel."
"If working on multiple browsers and on multiple platforms is the goal, then Selenium is definitely the right tool because it works on Windows as well as on Linux and also supports multiple browsers."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"I am really glad that there are tools like LambdaTest that help freelancers like me to make sure everything is okay before finally making a website live."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does."
"LambdaTest is a saving soldier for our company by offering us thousands of browsers and platforms to test on the cloud."
"LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility."
 

Cons

"It needs more support for mobile devices and also on testing web services."
"Maybe more stable cross-browser autotesting (sometimes a test which works ok for one browser fails in another)."
"It would be better if it accommodated non-techy end-users. I think it's still a product for developers."
"For people that don't know about technology, maybe it's difficult to use."
"Being an open source product, there is no customer service or technical support available."
"Customer Service: It's open source, so there's no customer service."
"Selenium HQ could have better interaction with SAP products."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
