BrowserStack is a great multipurpose testing solution for development teams
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We primarily use the Live, App Live, Accessibility Testing and Percy for testing purposes across our estate. This is segmented across a number of different platforms we support within our support division. We are starting to move more into the testing automation space, however we still use other tools for that purpose.
Pros
- Excellent live testing to simulate functionality across a variety of devices, operating systems and devices.
- Good AI capabilities within Percy to help automate visual tests which speeds up QA and regression testing.
- Provides a variety of testing tools and functionality in one suite of products which makes it easier to manage users and access.
Cons
- For large organizations, any improvements that can be made to manage licenses and access controls would be helpful.
- Integrate performance/load testing to replace other tools like Blazemeter.
- Make it easier to migrate testing frameworks from other applications like TestRail and at a competitive cost.
Most Important Features
