Our feature design to the delivery timeline is not tied down by our ability to test anymore

Pros and Cons

"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."

"Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers."

What is most valuable?

Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up. The convenience of getting the test done with one click on several browsers/platforms is the key feature we use all the time.

How has it helped my organization?

We are saving a ton of the required lead time before starting any tests. Before, we would plan months ahead on browsers/platforms to determine the needed support, and keep them ready as development happened. Now, we can be much more efficient. Our feature design to the delivery timeline is not tied down by our ability to test anymore.

What needs improvement?

Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers.

For how long have I used the solution?

Slightly over a year.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No, it was smooth.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We very rarely have had any crashes, but otherwise it is stable as a rock.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

I have not personally needed it yet, but their documentation and examples are solid.

Technical Support:

Not applicable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Everything else was homegrown; nothing like this.

How was the initial setup?

Not at all.

What about the implementation team?

Ourselves.

What was our ROI?

Yet to be measured, but if i were to take a wild swing at it, it's more than 1000%.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

None that I am aware of.
