BrowserStack vs. TestProject

Tests that do not interact with hardware or firmware and are exclusively cloud-based are excellent for BrowserStack testing. I'm not able to use BrowserStack for tests that rely on a Bluetooth connection to a separate piece of hardware, so I have to rely on a framework like Katalon that can give me a local Appium bridge to run tests on a tethered device. If BrowserStack can provide a SaaS solution to this problem, it would be a more attractive option to emerging IoT test automation needs.

We used to really love TestProject. It was easy to use, the interface was intuitive, and the customizations for test steps were great. Lately, though, in my experience, our agent has been dying, with no messaging, the support has been non-existent trying to help with these problems, and the installation was rough. I would have recommended this 6 months ago at a 9, but now, down to a two. If you can do everything yourself without support, if you have more visibility into the agent (ours is on a remote server) to see when it dies, and more, then you could use this product.

• BrowserStack App Automate dashboard gives us video, screenshots and logs of what exactly happened during the test run. This helps us easily analyse failures in our automation test and figure out the root cause for failures.
• BrowserStack App Live provides us with lot of devices to test on. This is specifically useful in case of high end iPhone devices which are costly for us to procure in house.
• BrowserStack App Automate provides parallel threads which can be shared across multiple teams. This has helped us scale our mobile test automation effort across the organisation.
• In house mobile lab might be cost effective initially but when it comes to maintaining it and add new devices as and when it comes in market makes it less cost effective than cloud solution like BrowserStack

• In my experience, TestProject agent has been flaky as of lately
• In my opinion, support has been almost non-existent

It's simply a must-have tool. As a designer, I have to ensure my work is at least functional in older browsers. I also have to ensure that, when I design for mobile devices, any differences between platforms aren't problematic. BrowserStack allows me to test my work in a fraction of the time, with a whole lot more accuracy.

It integrates directly in internal networks and local development. The point and click interface of choosing your device, pick the browser/version and you have a working emulation of that exact environment. What else could you ask for? I've set our least computer savvy users up with BrowserStack for testing in minutes. It feels like it's just part of your local environemnt.

I would thank to BrowserStack that they provide wide range of devices to test with so we catch the any defect, UI issues in early development of product. We also surprised by local test environment performance. It's reduce lot of development time.

I'm saying a 10 for support for BrowserStack only based on feedback from the development team. I myself have never had to reach out to support for any questions or issues, but others in the company have. From my conversations with them, the support was fantastic and had been a pleasure working with the BrowserStack team.

BrowserStack's library of devices and browsers is way bigger than Chrome DevTools. Additionally, I find that BrowserStack is more accurate than Chrome DevTools in regards to how pages render on the various devices I need to test on. Overall, BrowserStack is far better than Chrome DevTools.

• When our automated tests work and run smoothly, we are able to keep an easy eye on our UI.
• The user interface is super easy, we can generate multiple test cases quickly.
