BrowserStack helping Mobile designers and developers
Developers used the BroswerStack to apply the designs for mobile devices having iOS and Android Operating Systems.
There is no any good tool, that helps to apply the mobile design on-live. BS is the best option available.
Only challenge with BS is sometimes it becomes very slow. Otherwise BS is best tool for developing and testing the mobile changes.
- Availability of several options for doing the tests
- Having the several test cases available
- Mobile testing, it gives you several devices which are available in the market
- When Testing the mobile devices, the BrowserStack tool gets hanged abruptly
- When the user uses BS for testing there it leads to a lag in response
- Switching between the devices, sometimes, is not userfriendly
Also, one can find the older devices too, to use them for testing.
A great product for testing on all your devices all in one place.
- Great variety of devices
- Many versions of the each device with different browsers
- Best part is the devices are real.
- Something could be done about costing, probably let users select the range of devices and tailor the cost of the application accordingly
- there is a bit of latency which is understandable, but that can be a room for improvement
- provide option for teams of 4 people and price the app correspondingly
Difficult to test with limited internet access and with sensitive data and also the complex desktop applications are hard to test
- Multiple devices and browsers to choose from
- Fairly fast and responsive
- Least downtime
- System or device availability
- Performance
- Reduce latency
- Help with more data points for test automation tools
- Be able to seamlessly setup multiple non prod environments and have different images/ builds
- It has given me multiple options to try, but unfortunately none of them worked, so I can't tell you about any other good options.
- Try not to give everyone access to the free trial. Add some verification systems so that spam users cannot acquire all devices and actual people can use them and make decisions to purchase.
- Increase the time period.
I love BrowserStack So Much I'd Actually Like to Move to India and Work with Them, and Here's Why:
Together with Diana Pinasco as the fabulous designer she is, we work on a new version each year and need to test the results in browsers of all kinds and sizes. This year's website needed extra testing as both design and user experience changed quite a bit, we added the possibility to choose dark or light mode at will, changed the way the menu works, and had new colors, structures, and layouts. I used BrowserStack to test the site in all flavors of mobile devices browsers, and desktops, and it was awesome as always. The site is quite bulletproof and battle-tested since 2001, though the first versions were done in, believe it, Flash Actionscript.
I remember the first time using BrowserStack as a decisive and defining moment when the responsive design really took off, and much more work than now. This time I had a lot to check for new things, but it all seemed to all work right mostly. I do have to sincerely recommend BrowserStack's live testing, I doubt there's something better around.
- Realtime live testing at super speed as if you were there
- Perfect customer service
- Superb device variety of choice
- Feature abundance
- Lots of automated testing that I didn't need but I'm hoping to use one day
- Perfect price
- It may help to show the IP address of the device, as I had to configure access and needed to check the ip on each device for a while. Though it's possibly a fringe case, I guess, there are better, simpler ways than adding IPs to provide access as I had to.
BrowserStack for Rapid Test Development
- Support/Helpdesk team is really helpful
- Precise documentation
- Availability of latest devices and platform
- Daily summary reports for our test project execution
- Documentation to be updated with latest versions of tools
- Support engineers for languages other than JAVA, Python (specifically ruby)
- Enterprise features to be available for usage - (IP / Location set for mobile)
- Automation testing.
- Web application testing.
- Documentation with examples.
great cross browser testing tool
- Cross browser testing
- mobile device testing
- visual testing using percy.io
- support with preprod environment test execution with cypress
- the reporting can be improved
- dashboard to view all the projects different test execution
BrowserStack FTW
- The use of hundreds of ready-to-use devices
- The use of several key OS across multiple popular brands
- The use of versioning across several devices of those key brands
- The newest OS and models of devices are readily available
- Overall performance of usability of the device
- Overheating conditions could be a useful feature to be included
- Downloading the app to the Home screen for quick selection would be helpful
- Screen orientation feature
- Tablets for additional devices to be tested against
- Add in a feature to test against wearables
A couple of areas BrowserStack isn't as appropriate would be the limited options it has for interacting with devices such as multi-touch and gestures. Test scenarios that include sensors such as NFC/Bluetooth or battery consumption are often hard to test in the cloud.
Best tool to test your projects on multiple devices
The things work in just one click to load the designated device, then we check our sites and how it's displayed on this certain device, for what cases to use: check websites to see if can we improve them visually, appearance and responsiveness, and in some cases, we can run automated Selenium tests on those cloud devices which really cool with the ability to control the test environment.
- Multiple devices
- Support of Automated tests
- Controlled Environment
- Nice Bug capture Methods
- Improve performance
- adding stress test features
- Control the location of where the devices located (latency)
For scenarios where it is less appropriate, I think in cases when you need to get an accurate performance of your project as BrowserStack has some delay
Mobile Testing in a Good Way
- Mulitple devices
- Report dashboard
- Framework integration
- Test observability
- Report dashboard
- Filters
- Device capabilities
"Full stack" should include BrowserStack
- Easy switching between operating system/browser combinations
- Local environment testing
- Screen reader testing
- Desktop app on Mac is a little buggy
- It would be great to be able to do screen reader testing with JAWS as well as NVDA
BrowserStack: Life-saver for multi-platform testing

- Automation execution on multiple devices
- Actual device experience
- Internationalization and localization testing support can be improved

- For multi-device and multi-browser testing it is best available platform. It provide actual device experience instead of browser simulation that increase confidence of product quality.
- Automation report has video recording that actually helped us to find out issue in application/script easily.
- It lacks in Multi-culture testing as there is restriction to change device region and timezone
- Easy access to different mobile and laptop devices
- Supports automated test scripts
- Supports testing on different browsers and operating systems
- Sometimes there is a lag in device response time, which should be improved.
- Connecting to the device in the cloud sometimes takes a little bit of time
