    We have been using HeadSpin for our web and mobile application testing. It is an easy-to-use solution that provides detailed and in-depth analytics from the testing results. We also get a wide range of live networks and devices to perform the testing from HeadSpin. It has an inbuilt artificial intelligence engine that helps us to get real-time scenarios simulated, which is very helpful for finding performance issues and improving the overall quality of the applications.

    Best suited to smaller unit test or tests broken up, couple of forms at a time Not suited - larger regressions test involving multiple systems. - my main regression involving payments has been unsuccessful for the last 3 years despite all working fine separately and while being watched

    • Identifying UI objects and application structure
    • Expandability of tests through scripts and script extensions/plugins
    • low barrier of entry (you can get started quickly, and other's don't need much explanation to contribute on a basic level)
    • Possibility of Jira integration for reporting
    • Relatively few (and usually easy to solve) git conflicts when working simultaneously
    • easy handling of test data, also for iterative tests

    Cons
    HeadSpin
    • UI needs to be improved
    • Graphs on the dashboard are a bit laggy and need detailing for a better understanding of the user

    • TestComplete could stand to have a simplified view for different types of users. For instance, as a manager/architecture guy, I'm not so interested in getting into the code and am more interested in file-based interactions.
    • TestComplete could use more integration with reporting for things like TeamCity to improve test status visibility.

    It is usable when you become accustomed to its quirks. Not using it for two months and then you need to re-learn the quirks for some features (but some quirks are so awful that they will never fade from your memory). So, when using it regularly, it is possible to be quite productive, if no big correction in name mapping is needed.

    Some bugs were quickly resolved, but most UX quirks of the tool are just marked "as designed". No follow up for enhancement request.

    Though LambdaTest was cheaper, it did not offer the deal devices and we wanted to be 100% sure that our app offers a perfect experience to all users. Simulators and emulators are not the technology we wanted to rely on.

    TestComplete stacks up against them in terms of GUI and seamless performance. It records each and every step and action been performed in the application and produces a detailed report in a well-structured manner. It can connect and access seamlessly among various databases directly to speed up the testing process.

    Return on Investment
    HeadSpin
    • Simplified the approach to test the mobile application on multiple devices from different vendors. This helped us to ensure the stability of the application in different environments.
    • In-depth analysis to understand the loopholes in the application design function. This helped us to improve the application design and overall user experience.

    • Saves hundreds of man-hours with either QA testing or data entry
    • With the small cost of the product, it has saved the company money with both employee costs as well as the cost of mistakes made by human error or software bugs
