LT Browser vs. Selenium

I think LT Browser is one of the best programs I know to perform performance, usability, and experience tests on websites because it has a wide range of tools for this purpose; in addition, I consider that its price is affordable for professionals or freelancers with little income as well as for large companies that want the best tools, best of all, is that Lamdatest offers a free plan for students and I think LT Browser is also a very good tool for learning. On the other hand, and being quite honest, I can't find scenarios where LT Browser is not suitable in its area of application or what this software is specialized in.

When you have to test the UI and how it behaves when certain actions are performed, you need something that can automate the browsers. This is where Selenium comes to the rescue. If you have to test APIs and not the frontend (UI), I would recommend going with other libraries that support HTTP Requests. Selenium is good only when you have no choice but to run the steps on a browser.

• LT Browser is to create, test and debug multiple web and mobile sites.
• Ideal for finding code errors and share bugs through our favorite project management/bug tracking tools, like Jira, Asana, GitHub, etc.
• LT Browser works fine, saves a lot of time in testing.

• For any web based UI automation, Selenium is the best tool out there to automate your tests.
• It supports multiple coding languages like Java, Python, Ruby, C# etc.. to choose from.
• There is a huge community of users and can get many answers on StackOverFlow.
• It has lot of other plugins to make your tests even more efficient.

• Geolocation feature is not present
• We can test on only two devices side by side. It should be more than two.
• Only 30 minutes access in free plan

• Selenium is pretty user-friendly but sometimes tests tend to flake out. I'd say roughly one out of twenty tests yields a false positive.
• Selenium software cannot read images. This is a minor negative because a free plug-in is available from alternate sources.
• Slowness may be a minor factor with Selenium, though this is an issue with basically any testing software since waiting on a site to execute JavaScript requires the browser to wait for a particular action.

We love this product mainly because of its high customization abilities and the ease of use. Moreover, its free and can be learned easily through online communities and videos. The tests are more consistent and reliable as compared to Manual tests. It has enabled us to test a large number of features all in one go, which would have impossible through manual tests. The reports generated at the end of the tests are really helpful for the QA and the development teams to get a fair view of the application.

For those who are unfamiliar with coding, there is a bit of a learning curve. There is plenty of helpful documentation and resources but it can take a little time to get the software up and running. Once you get the hang of how Selenium works, and what it can do, you realize how many things you can use it for, and how many processes you can automate.

The Selenium app has a pretty fat community of users. For the problems we are experiencing, we are primarily receiving support from these communities. In addition, there is widespread service support. Instant support is given to the problems we experience when we need Online support. We and our team are happy to provide this support, especially before important deployment processes

We did everything we needed to use it. Now we can execute our tests on different operational systems and browsers running few tests simultaneously. We also implemented Appium framework to execute our tests on mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets. We use SauceLabs for our test execution and Jenkins for continuous integration.

One such product that my team eagerly anticipates testing for responsiveness is the LT Browser. The team has discovered that it is a straightforward process to test on the newest mobile devices utilizing the LT Browser. We may start testing our web pages on local systems by simply adding the URL. LT Browser's native developer tools enable us to make modifications to our code right away. It has a pre-installed selection of well-known devices and can operate in simulated mode.

At the time of adoption, there were not many other alternatives that were even close to being competitive when it comes to browser testing. As far as I know now to this day, there is still little competition to Selenium for what it does. Any other browser-based testing still utilises Selenium to interact with the browser.

• Too many updates. And whenever you update you have to log in again
• I remember it used to crash one or twice in a week initially. Though it is much less frequent now.

• There hasn’t been a downside to using it yet other than we’ve got to update the programs we create for each change.
• This has saved us hundreds of hours of manpower by allowing our automation engineer to rapid fire tests.
• We are able to screenshot and save entire sites before and after launch with a program the automation engineer created
• We can compare large volumes of data against data in excel docs with a program created using Selenium
