LambdaTest vs. National Instruments SystemLink

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

There are definitely scenarios where NI SystemLink will be useful but just didn't work out well for us. I needed to be able to replace an EXE file on a computer with a new EXE to do the upgrades but I was not able to do that through SystemLink. You had to work with packages in order to perform this and I didn't want to revamp my distribution plan. We also didn't need to do any asset management or calibration documentation through SystemLink. I was excited about being able to view data from the test stations through a browser but our engineers need historical data available and everything resets to a live view when you click back to the UI.

• 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

• Setup
• User Interface
• LabVIEW Integration

• 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

• Licensing
• Not able to see data from all test stations on one UI
• Lack of data history

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.

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.

• 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

• Availability to monitor multiple test stations remotely
• Was quick to integrate into existing LabVIEW codebase
• Ultimately did not justify the licensing cost for the benefit
