AWS Device Farm vs. LambdaTest

AWS Device Farm is perfect for small teams who don't have enough resources to conduct large scale testing scenarios or even large teams who would like an easier time with testing on various devices. [AWS] Device Farm makes it very easy to interact with a multitude of devices right from the browser.

In my opinion, I believe LambdaTest is very good and well suited for Cross-browser testing, Mobile application testing and Automated testing. But yes, there is always scope of improvement. In my experience, LambdaTest does not currently offer robust security testing features, so when we need to conduct extensive security testing on our applications we need to use other specialized tools

• Integration with CI/CD Pipeline
• Diversity in Real Devices over the Cloud
• Pay as you go option
• Reproduce Issues and easily collect all kinds of logs

Incentivized

• Offers geolocation testing in automation which is amazing!
• You can select browsers, timezone, country and run the capability to start testing instantly.
• We could scale up with parallel testing on local environment without any maintenance cost.
• Integration with project management tools like JIRA, CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Gitlab which makes our test cycle easier

• Interface (CLI) not very easy. Competition has better options.
• Integration with IDE for test case coding.
• Reporting for the test scripts executed.

• Sometimes the live apps gets slow so its better that this doesn't happen more often
• Still room to add more device vendors like, Huawei now doesn't support play services so its better thay we also have some devices which are with Huawei services only

LambdaTest provides video recording and screenshots of all your tests in their test logs, which makes tracking easier. Test statuses, such as Lambda Error and VM allocation, allowed us to quickly troubleshoot any build that failed while executing. So overall, it's been great to use for our Tester and Developer team.

We had the enterprise support with AWS, so overall support experience was good with great engineers on the back providing answers. As you may know, overall AWS support is different and this is not different. Responses through the regular web support channel came easily, fast and accurate. We had questions/issues which were solved fast. Documentation is good as well, especially around the test automation pieces.

The customer support team is very active and cooperative. Once, I contacted them in their off timings because of an issue, I got an instant reply from the executive and he resolved the issue very efficiently. This is why we have been using LambdaTest for more than two years. It is best suited for us.

Implementation of Lambdatest was very easy for different project requirements.

LambdaTest stands out from its competitors due to its affordable pricing model, intuitive user interface, and comprehensive set of features. Its real-time testing feature allows users to test their websites on a range of devices and browsers in real-time, enabling quick issue identification and resolution. The automated testing feature allows users to run tests in parallel across multiple browsers and devices, resulting in faster test execution and improved test coverage.LambdaTest's visual testing feature is particularly noteworthy as it enables users to identify visual differences between their website on different browsers and devices. This feature helps users identify and fix issues related to design or layout. LambdaTest also offers debugging tools that allow users to quickly identify and fix issues within their code.Compared to its competitors, LambdaTest offers an affordable and comprehensive solution for cross-browser testing. While each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses, LambdaTest's robust feature set, user-friendly interface, and affordable pricing make it a popular choice among developers and testers.

• Quicker testing leads to faster product to market times
• Can deploy updates much more regularly by testing across many devices quickly

• Automation testing has a bit of a learning curve
• Lack of real device keep that bug in your head if not on the website.
• Need to wait for a while for a new OS or browser version on the contrary of immediate availability in case of owning a lab
