LambdaTest Reviews

The industry we function in, e-commerce, has a broad category of audience. We need to make sure that our website is accessible to everyone irrespective of the browser or operating system they use.

Of course, a responsive web design check is a major bullet point over our testing checklist as well. As a B2C, it's crucial for us to stay ahead of the customers and we wanted a solution that could help us ensure our changes would work seamlessly when shipped to production.

LambdaTest made a great fit here when considering the latest browsers on the product. The ability to test local pages, along with complimentary access to the LT browser, is an absolute delight for our developers and testers.

It helps us save a considerable effort on responsive testing, plus the native developer tools allow us to dig deep into any UI mismatch! As mentioned, we can achieve wider test coverage in the same amount of time by running multiple combinations of browsers in parallel with the LambdaTest automation suite.

The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily.

The Underpass app provides a one-click launch to test on development environments.

The LT browser offers a comparison view with pre-set mobile devices. Plus, we can add custom devices to it.

The location-based tests helped us provide a unified experience to our customers.

Integration with Bamboo CI was an added benefit.

You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only. However, from what I have heard, they are promising to go live with it shortly.

We have been using LambdaTest for six months.

We are happy with the communication from the support team.

The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it.

Our decision to purchase the subscription was due to their affordable pricing for the parallel tests and the communication from the support team!

Running tests serially can be a good option when your product is at an early stage. However, as we scaled the product, we needed a tool to reduce test time execution and pace up our test cycles.

LambdaTest simplified the Selenium testing experience for us with their cloud-based platform, which allowed us to execute our test cases in parallel on hundreds of browsers. We could easily automate the test cases, get the sessions recorded, and share the test reports across the team for the assessment using Asana integration.

We even leverage the integration with CircleCI to run automated tests on LambdaTest through our pipeline. The CircleCI Orb is handy for testing our privately-hosted application.

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. 

Personally, one thing I find that LambdaTest does very well is continuing to provide tutorials for testing, so that we stay up to speed and are even able to learn new things. I definitely saw myself applying a lot of the new concepts that I learned from their blogs.

LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more.

As we use Asana, it was good to see that LambdaTest provides support to the tool, as it made our task much easier.

The support documentation is precise and could actually help you get started, without the need for the support team.

We can test on local environments faster with CircleCI Orb with an extensive range of browsers and devices to test on.

Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use. We had a few slugs in the early stage of implementation while running parallel tests; however, the support team was helpful in resolving it.

I have been using LambdaTest for seven months.

We evaluated Sauce Labs and we chose LambdaTest because it was an affordable product with a good feature set. 

This is an affordable product.

When the pandemic demanded us to work from home, it was a daunting situation for us. Keeping up with the consistent growth for the past year, we had a few feature-launches ready to be deployed on production environments. However, testing them was a challenge while working remotely and with a large team of testers and developers.

We wanted a tool where the team can work collaboratively at a faster pace and get started with deployments.

LambdaTest is a saving soldier for our company by offering us thousands of browsers & platforms to test on the cloud. We are able to ensure a sturdy UI without worrying about infrastructure management.

It receives plus points for a Docker extension, where we could locally test on multiple instances through the Lambda Tunnel using Docker. This helped us align better with our DevOps team, it kept our projects on track and allowed us to implement continuous deployment with robust quality checks.

The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel.

The fact that it integrates well with tools like Jira and Slack makes team collaboration even easier.

Also, it is worthwhile to mention that the support team is actively listening to your feedback and issues. As we wanted to get our product tested on the latest Safari 14 browser, our request was considered and they updated to the browser within two weeks.

Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status. It would be better if I could analyze groups of tests that are taking a long time to complete, to pin-point use cases which could lead to slowness in the user journey.

It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing.

We have been using LambdaTest for six months.

As a Fintech company, other than Chrome and Safari, we need to test our website regularly on IE and Edge as well. This is because our customers are dependent on legacy OS to use our web-application.

LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility. Our automation engineers are able to execute Selenium scripts in their preferred language, and the cloud infrastructure has allowed us to scale our automation test cycles effortlessly. A majority of our regression suites are now automated, and thanks to LambdaTest, we are now able to find more critical bugs with less manual testing efforts.

What really helped us improve our delivery cycle was live debugging while you automate the tests. We could break the script execution at any point and take it over from there by interactive live for the remaining test steps.

LambdaTest also provides video recording and screenshots of all your tests in their test logs, which makes tracking easier. It offers integrations with Jira and Jenkins, which ensures us better collaboration and a robust CI/CD pipeline respectively, which is an additional plus for us.

Test statuses such as Lambda Error and VM allocation allowed us to quickly troubleshoot any build that failed while executing, as we were able to identify whether the script is failing or is it something wrong from LambdaTest end.

In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues. They even helped us shift easily from our local instances to their cloud platform.                                              

The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive. The good part is that we have relayed some of our suggestions to the support and as per their support team, those suggestions are to be considered as a part of their upcoming sprint, so we look forward to seeing them onboard soon.

We have been using LambdaTest for one year.

Up to now, we have never had any issues with stability!

We evaluated Sauce Labs and CrossBrowserTesting.

Using LambdaTest automation has allowed us to run all of our functionality tests suits across multiple browsers and OS.

It has helped us identify UI misalignment specific to browsers or functionality failure due to incompatibility with a particular browser.

The good part is that you can automate screenshots and get insights into where and which browser your website’s UI is going off. Then, we can use the live feature to identify and debug the compatibility issue.

We strongly believe customer experience is the key and that could impede your product growth. With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does.

This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!

You can select browsers, OS, country, and start testing instantly.

Further, it offers integration with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitLab, which makes our cycle easier.                                                                            

For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there. The tech support guys say it would be there in a few months, but let's see.

Mobile application testing would be helpful for us. We have been asking the support team for this feature but it's yet to be implemented.

We would also like to see more devices for screenshot testing.

There is a latency in a single test when compared to a local machine. Maybe because of the cloud? So, you have to run in parallel to cut down on testing times.

We have been using LambdaTest for eight months.

As said, we perform multiple tests for browser coverage, so we have scaled up our testing pipeline and are now running multiple tests in parallel. This scaling up was way too easy. No more adding VMs for testing locally.

The implementation was done by our in-house team. However, the support team from LambdaTest was very helpful to begin the process.

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.

It would be useful if LambdaTest had a library of code that first-time developers could copy and paste. In the next release, Lambda should add integration with Cucumber.

I used LambdaTest for three to four months.

If the code is done properly, then LambdaTest rarely requires maintenance.

The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues.

LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical issues.

The initial setup is straightforward.

LambdaTest is paid per execution.

It's useful to learn some best practices for Lambda - if you have thousands of instances in an IoT ecosystem, you need a framework and governance to keep track of where the code is and what's what. I would rate LambdaTest as nine out of ten.

Having a global user base, we have active traffic from varied locations and testing on multiple platforms and browsers is a continuous process for the team. Our automated tests for web browsers on the latest versions and mobile browsers, including Android and iOS, required a larger farm of VMs to function smoothly.

LambdaTest helped us with solving this issue, allowing us to run our automated tests on a much larger VM farm.

LambdaTest has made our testing process less tedious with automated parallel testing. Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours.

Parallel testing has helped us with faster feedback loops to scale up our go to market efforts.

We also use Azure Pipelines for CI/CD and the LambdaTest extension for Azure has helped us achieve a seamless testing experience for our privately hosted projects. Thanks to that, we are now able to easily ensure browser compatibility for all changes before we move them to Prod. Kudos to the team!

The feature that stands out for us is geolocation testing, where all you need to do is run the capabilities and test the website for the desired location.

I also use the LambdaTest Automation insights frequently to analyze trends of the pass/fail rate of our tests, which helps me analyze the suites that are prone to failure and what can be done to eliminate it.

The tool allows me to filter data up to a year and for different test types and users (if that's in your plan), which I found interesting and productive to analyze.

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. It would be a good package for Lambdatest!

We have been using LambdaTest for eight months.

We did not use another similar testing solution prior to LambdaTest.

We evaluated Sauce Labs and CrossBrowserTesting.

We were in the middle of launching a new website and being new to all of these things, I called a friend to ask if there is any step I need to do before making it live. He suggested that I should make my website responsive, and after I understood what he meant, I started to look for tools that can help me with testing my website for responsiveness.

After a brief Google search, I landed on LambdaTest and the best part was that they also offered a Freemium plan that includes a good amount of minutes for responsivity testing. I selected the combination that we thought our users will mostly use and ran the tests. To our surprise, our website indeed was not responsive. I took screenshots and showed it to my developer and asked it to be fixed for a seamless experience.

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.

This solution helped me in checking to see if my website was responsive, or not, by offering a cloud-based infrastructure that I can use to test on a combination of more than two thousand browsers and operating systems. 

The best part is that LambdaTest is free for all and it really helped freelancers like me.

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.

It can also help you fast-track the testing; however, for that, you need to buy their paid parallel session plan. This allows you to run two tests at the time time, saving you your precious time.

I would like to see all of the features available in the Freemium plan so that I can test them.

We have been using this solution for more than one year.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month.

We searched for a lot of tools, but for the most part, they required a paid license.

I could not find any cons for me as I was only looking for responsiveness testing, although a detailed look at LambdaTest may help me find some negatives.
