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.

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.

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