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.

Robust automation with reusable steps and seamless integration
The concept of reusable steps in Zeenyx AscentialTest has significantly enhanced our test automation efficiency. Encapsulating common actions into modular steps reduces redundancy in test scripts and ensures consistency across scenarios. This approach streamlines maintenance efforts, allowing updates to be applied universally, making our test suite more agile and adaptable to evolving project requirements. The concept of reusable steps is a key factor in maximizing reusability and maintainability in our test automation strategy. AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows. This capability ensures precise interaction with various components of an application's interface, further enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of our automated tests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"LambdaTest proved to be a savior for us here, as one platform does the job!"
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"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."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"Customer Service: Zeenyx team provides a wonderful customer support for any kind of issues we face and they worked along with us and provided solutions as early as possible too."
"It's been really easy to automate the same applications TestComplete struggled with."
"As a platform corporation a primary strategic goal is to develop coherent tests across platforms, and this is where Ascential Test shines."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"Zeenyx AscentialTest provides excellent support for PowerBuilder applications, with very powerful and flexible object recognition, a highly visual drag and drop environment for creating application objects from snapshots, and tests that are easy and quick to manage and maintain."
"I am a 30+ year IT professional and the level of support I have gotten has been unparalleled."
"Productivity increased by almost 10 times after using AT for test automation as manually it was taking almost a day or three days (sometimes a week) effort to do data verification of expected and actual excel files with huge number of columns and rows (approximately 50 columns and thousands of rows)."
 

Cons

"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."
"For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical issues."
"It would be great if AscentialTest supported the license server being in the cloud."
"The product does have limitations on how certain project files are locked (checked-out)."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"It would be better if the support for Web Tables and Siebel Tables are readily available and made more simpler as they are encountered quite often while automating the apps."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"The product can be improved a little bit with regards to the UI as the panels are too many."
"We did observe that aborting the test run of a test set in the middle of execution was taking a long time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"Once it starts generating ROI, which for us took between three and six months, one will not even think about the investment."
