Since we had to work from home during corona and no longer had access to our mobile devices, we started looking for online testing tools and that's where we came across BrowserStack, which allowed 23 scrum teams to easily perform visual browser and mobile browser testing.
  • Visual Browser testing
  • Visual mobile app browser testing
  • No need to purchase mobile devices
  • The licence model is user based
  • for app testing the latest beta versions are not available
  • for large environments companys the licence is a bit difficult
during corona period we couldn't work from office to use our mobile test devices. there we discovered from necessity BrowserStack, BrowserStack is the tool to use this. It saves us money and time, because we no longer need to buy new mobile devices and the scrum teams have better choices to test their applications

I have been using BrowserStack for more than 5 years now and I can proudly say that It helped and saved our lot of efforts in our day to day testing. It is easy to use and has some amazing features which definitely helps to ease the life of tester/QA.I have recommended BrowserStack to my UK counterparts and also helped to setup it in their project. The feedback is really great and all our customers are happy to use BrowserStack and utilizing its benefits. The best part I would say is its easy to integrate with automation tool and reporting is too good and easy to understand. We have used it wherever there was scope of testing the application against different browsers, platforms, devices etc
  • Cross Browser Testing
  • Use of Real Devices
  • Support
  • Ease of Integration
  • The Pricing structure can be more easier for customers to pick from multiple options.
  • Full access to device is restricted however it would be great if we can give full access to the users
It is helping users to test their applications easily on multiple platforms,devices, browsers and their versions etc. Easy to integrate with Selenium/SpecFlow/Cucumber etc. It is less appropriate if scope of testing is only a single browser and also if application under test is desktop application.

BrowserStack tool came to the table in order to solve problems regarding automations for mobile.
We have limited devices for running automated tests and buying new devices is too much expensive and the devices got outdated quickly.
In order to solve this problem we started a trial on BrowserStack.
  • It gets the backend logs that is pretty useful for getting backend end errors
  • The connection with the BrowserStack devices are quick and easy to setup
  • BrowserStack provides a lot of documentation to guide you when you're starting to use BrowserStack
  • I think that if BrowserStack provides a way to use emails in an easy way, it should be pretty helpful
  • Provide a way to use SMS in more countries like Brazil
I didn't have problems working with BrowserStack.
The tool is stable, there are a lot of different devices and OS. It's really useful.

I only had a problem in the past while working with a company that had geolocation activated on the app. The app only works in the USA, and I was in Brazil.
I faced many many issues working on this circumstances. I tried to get in touch with BrowserStack, but I leave the company before get the problem solved. But that one was the only big problem that I've faced while using BrowserStack.

The main purpose of using BrowserStack in the organization is to test cross-browser compatibility and whether the website is working fine in different browsers or not. It also offers multiple virtual devices like Android phones, iPhones, Tablets, and desktop devices with multiple OS where the website can be tested virtually to ensure the functioning of the site.
  • It provides multiple devices like phones, tablets, and desktops as real devices for testing the websites.
  • It also supports parallel testing so that the website can be tested on more than 1 device at a time.
  • The test session can be recorded and the screenshot can be captured for marking or recording the bugs found during testing.
  • The improvement can be made in pricing transparency.
  • Response or feedback speed is sometimes slow when we are connected to a network from which many users are connected.
  • Touch gestures can be improved for testing on mobile.
BrowserStack is best for cross-browser compatibility testing, mobile testing, parallel testing, and debugging browser issues. While it is less appropriate if your network connection is not stable, it's because it's a cloud-based service and it relies on a stable internet connection.

We have problem related to availability of test devices and device farm. In order to provide a lot of test devices and even device farm, requires a lot of cost and kinda complicated. Browserstack provides us with many variations of devices that can be used for testing. Other than that, they provide services to run automation on "cloud" as a replacement for the local device farm.
  • Provide many variation of test devices
  • Has network and selector inspector for mobile app testing
  • Provide services to run automation on cloud
  • Capability to summarize for each testrun through app automation
  • Quick response team to resolve issues
  • For each documentation, if linked with tutorial video it will be better
  • For each documentation, if linked with github repository (for the example) it will be better
For debugging mobile app, there's feature to inspect the network and app. In order to run a lot of test scenario, to get faster result we need a lot of devices. Using browserstack really help us because they provides us with "cloud device farm" that can be run in parallel. Running automation testing through browserstack will give us summary that contains of video, passrate, error info, etc.

BrowserStack is a very useful tool when it comes to testing multiple devices. We don't have to wait for the availability of the device. It is just there, we can just select and use.
  • Testing on multiple devices
  • Testing on multiple android versions
  • Testing on multiple IOS versions
  • Testing on different browsers, different screen size etc
  • Right now I don't see much, but if we have some option to debug it would be great
  • As I understood, debug on console is limited. If it is improved as normal browser it would be great
  • Same applicable for mobile browsers
Main attraction is the multi platform, multiple screen size, multiple OS versions. All available in one place. That is not something anybody can offer. It helps to reduce the testing device initial cost

BrowserStack helps us run our test suit on different browsers without worrying about installing these browsers in the agents machines, it helped us to move away from dependency for different node versions as per project since we are able to select the versions just from the config of automation test suit.
  • They keep there device support very robust and as soon as there is a new device in the market, BrowserStack is very quick to add them in the options
  • There customer service is very good, and they respond to the problems within 24hrs with the initial solution
  • real time video playback of currently running suit really helps to quickly solve problems of flaky tests while running on cloud
  • Pricing should little lower, since the competitors have started providing similar services, BrowserStack should give options to opt for just automation tests while not forcing to buy the whole package which is not really used all the time.
  • Improve Documentation and Training videos for running the suit with different configurations for different frameworks
  • While BrowserStack focuses on functional testing, adding performance testing capabilities would provide a more comprehensive testing solution
BrowserStack is well-suited: Cross-browser compatibility testing, Mobile app testing, Automated testing, Parallel testing, Responsive design testing, Local testing, Continuous integration (CI) integration, Remote debugging, Geolocation testing, Network simulation, Scenarios where BrowserStack may be less appropriate: Performance testing,Comprehensive API testing, Extensive security testing, Test case management, Heavy load testing, Deep integration with specific development tools, Highly specialized, industry-specific testing needs.

In my current role at Coursera, we rely on BrowserStack Percy for efficient visual testing. It offers pixel-perfect visual reviews, ensuring UIs appear and function correctly across different devices and screen sizes. At my previous company, Acquire, we used BrowserStack for every e2e testing across web and mobile platforms. Despite a higher price for running parallel tests, BrowserStack's top-notch features justified the cost. The tool notably expedites testing processes, saving valuable development time. It consistently ensures that applications work as intended on all platforms, delivering high-quality user experiences irrespective of the device or OS used. BrowserStack, though pricey, is a worthy investment for thorough e2e testing.
  • Percy for visual testing.
  • Percy's integration with our development workflow.
  • The dashboard presents visual changes systematically.
  • Percy can be on the pricier side.
Well-Suited for Cross-Browser Testing: In scenarios where you are developing a web app, and you want to ensure its compatibility with a wide range of browsers (and their versions). Mobile Application Testing: With the rise of mobile traffic, it's crucial to ensure your application runs smoothly on various mobile devices. BrowserStack provides a comprehensive set of real mobile devices for Android and iOS, offering an actual device cloud to run your tests. Parallel Testing: In cases where speed is a priority to reduce the total test execution time, BrowserStack is a perfect fit. It allows simultaneous tests to be run in different environments, speeding up your testing pipeline significantly. Less Appropriate for Budget Constraints: BrowserStack comes with a higher price tag, especially for parallel testing. Simple Web Applications: For a simple website or app that has a single version and doesn't need extensive cross-browser or device compatibility checks, investing in BrowserStack might be unnecessary.

Me and my team was using BrowserStack for our automation suites, it was much more faster and easy to use on its UI than what we are using currently. I would like switch back on Browserstack.
  • parallel execution
  • Many of platforms for testing
  • Well integration with Selenium and Cypress
  • Manual testing
  • Easy to use and fast
  • They can reduce the cost
  • More flexible plans can be introduced
  • Support team needs to be aware more technical things
Browser stack tool is good with automation testing and it can be integrate with the Selenium and also it can work well with the cypress and We were using it many times for cross browser testing as it has many platforms available to execute our test cases. It helps to avoid complicated Selenium grid setup, cause it takes care all features like grid, It helps lot in parallel testing as well.

I use BrowserStack to test my application in different devices and browser versions to ensure the compatibility of our solution. This greater coverage of testing is a great factor in appealing to the client to the fact that we take the service seriously and the users and their technology needs personally.
  • 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
Well-suited Scenarios for BrowserStack:Cross-Browser Testing: BrowserStack is ideal for testing web applications across multiple browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and various versions of these browser, Mobile App Testing, Automated testing, Geographic testing etc.
Difficult to test with limited internet access and with sensitive data and also the complex desktop applications are hard to test

We use mainly BrowserStack App Automate for E2E test automation for our Android app and iOS app. It helps us solve daily regression testing of core flows in our apps.
We also use BrowserStack App Live for testing on specific device which are not available with us. This has helped us reproduce issues which are happening only in certain devices.
  • BrowserStack App Automate dashboard gives us video, screenshots and logs of what exactly happened during the test run. This helps us easily analyse failures in our automation test and figure out the root cause for failures.
  • BrowserStack App Live provides us with lot of devices to test on. This is specifically useful in case of high end iPhone devices which are costly for us to procure in house.
  • BrowserStack App Automate provides parallel threads which can be shared across multiple teams. This has helped us scale our mobile test automation effort across the organisation.
  • In house mobile lab might be cost effective initially but when it comes to maintaining it and add new devices as and when it comes in market makes it less cost effective than cloud solution like BrowserStack
  • Easier way to screen record just the mobile screen during App Live sessions. Current solution of recording via browser tab seems clumsy
  • Easier way to measure app launch time, screen load time etc during App Live sessions
  • Suggest on script improvement based on waiting time on screens etc in App automate dashboard.
  • Group tests which failed due to same reason so that root cause analysis can go faster.
BrowserStack is well suited for organisation which are building mobile Apps since procuring, building and maintaining in house device lab is not cost effective for most companies on the long run.
BrowserStack is my preferred mobile cloud solution based on price, features and reliability perspective.

I build a website every summer for summer night concerts in the amazing gardens of the Real Alcázar in Sevilla, for a company called Actidea. We use a homemade CMS called PathFinder, which Julio Antileo and I built, and a CodeIgniter frontend on a Linux server.

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.
I use BrowserStack for live testing of a couple of website projects where I have to check design and user experience, and BrowserStack excels in giving the widest choice of browsers and devices that do feel as if they were on your hands in real-time on a flawless and diligent ride, for a fair price.

As a Test automation lead, we were looking for a tool for a rapid test automation development for Mobile test cases which support our automation framework and should be less maintainable in terms of environment creation so we don't need to worry about drivers and inspectors for our locator strategies. Also, BrowserStack helped us in quick development of test scenarios and its execution withing a short duration for mobile test automation creation. For me and my team, we do have conversations with BrowserStack team for any queries/suggestions/pocs and I appreciate their help providing us quick solutions for our problems.
  • 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)
As a test automation lead/framework dev, I would highly recommend BrowserStack to team members, as it helped us rapidly build test scenarios for 500+ scenarios. Its support team is doing well and are available via chat or email. It also has new devices/os platforms available on daily basis.

We use BrowserStack for Testing both our Web and Mobile Apps. The problem we had was the browser-based inspection tool was limited and we had a limited number of physical mobile devices to test with. We use the tool for functional manual testing, regression and smoke testing.
  • Testing on iOS, Safari and iPad form a Windows desktop in chrome
  • Performance with data centre nearby in Australia
  • Continuous innovation and new features and timely updates of new browsers versions and OS
  • Timely support and help remotely
  • Keeping up to date with Browser and OS version and ne wmobiel devices
  • Recording to local mp4 file rather than to cloud like loom
  • Live chat support for more timely help
  • Discounting for multiple product bundling
  • Increase timeout period
  • Improve UX for adding Quick launch devices
Most suited where you have a SaaS browser app to test or a mobile version of your web app. Not tried it as yet on our Android mobile APP, although we have all the hardware as tablet specific application.

I use browserstack for running our cypress e2e test across different browsers i.e cross browser testing . I have also got a chance to explore the live product for testing our product across various devices. browser stack is helpful as it offers a neat UI, step by step instruction to be followed to use it efficiently. it is simple to use and cost effective compared to other products in market
  • 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
browser stack is well suited for cross browser testing, mobile testing. it allows us to test manually on different browsers , different os and different screensizes.it offers an intuitive ui and easy to use ui. it is not suited for cypress test on preproduction environments when the preprod environments are behind a vpn.

At PartyGames.ai we need to make sure that all our users get a polished and consistent experience no matter what device they are on. BrowserStack saves us countless hours by allowing us to easily test across a vast array of devices allowing us to track down and fix bugs and deliver the best version of our platform to our users.
  • Large amount of physical devices to test on.
  • Local environment testing.
  • Support for teams.
  • The product is wonderful but the cost is a bit high for some people I talk to.
  • Input lag could be improved.
  • When opening dev tools the device view sometimes gets pushed off screen.
The only reason I wouldn’t recommend BrowserStack to some people is because of how expensive it is. Outside of that I feel like any company that delivers apps, web apps, etc could greatly benefit from BrowserStack.

We used BrowserStack for testing our app on various desktop and native platforms. This software has enabled our small team to verify functionality and user experience on devices we don't have on hand. We used it for troubleshooting issues that were device-specific and for this it was invaluable.
  • Huge selection of devices to test with
  • Great user interface
  • Testing on real devices was sometimes a bit slow
BrowserStack is awesome at letting you see your app, website or whatever on a wide range of real devices that you probably don't have on hand.

BrowserStack is used in our project team to test the online banking application in different devices supporting different OS like Android, iOS, Windows etc. Along with the app, multi-device browser testing is also done for website version of online banking.BrowserStack has all the wide range of different devices with different screen sizes, that gives us an opportunity to test the application on different modes.
  • Latest versions of the apps can be uploaded and tested. Extremely easy process.
  • Get error details whenever there is any error encountered.
  • App can be tested on multiple devices with different screen sizes and different OS.
  • There should not be any session disconnects. And if there are any, then session should start from the same spot where it got disconnected.
  • Sometimes there are some lags while browsing. Though it is rare and it gets fixed soon. But that is something that can be improved.
This is an obvious choice when the team need to do multi-device testing as this tool simulates the exact real devices and there are no difference at all.

We use browserstack to have our tests, we like to use it because it have a lot of devices to use, wich we can't afford to buy, there are a lot of other things that make us very happy like, the real device feature, we were using bluestacks that showed us much more problems that bennefits when we were testing, the fidelity of the tests were also elevated since we choose to use browserstack. So basically we are still discovering a lot of the features it provides, but right now, with the support team and the software we are so happy that we will want to use for years.
  • Real Devices
  • Multiple Devices
  • Traffic log
  • Performance
  • Choose IP for a desired location
The best scenarios for us to test is when we deliver an app updates on Google play, so we can test if everything is okay.
I don't know if there are less appropriate times to use browserstack.

We use BrowserStack in our web development process to check design is not compromised based on different viewport sizes.The cloud based software lets us remote into actual devices such as iOS/iPadOS-based Apple iPhones/iPads, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Windows, Linux, Mac (sandboxed) over the web. You can choose from different OS versions and browser types such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, & Apple Safari.
  • Real Device Web Page Testing
  • All Major OS Versions(Desktop + Mobile)
  • Multiple Browser Options & Versions
  • Needs a lower pricing tier for real device testing only (without automation features)
  • Does not have any free browser testing minutes (hoping for a free tree tier with a replenish on a weekly/monthly basis)
  • Does not have simultaneous or concurrent side by side comparison device sessions
BrowserStack pricing structure seems its tailored more towards larger teams with multiple seats, it is expensive for a solo web developer to use for contracted clients. There are a lot of automation features as part of the lowest tier plan, but I never needed to use because my clients don't have sophisticated websites with e-commerce or logged in users.

In our QA flow, we use BrowserStack in order to test our company mobile application on multiple devices. We have developed our mobile framework and we have integrated our infrastructure with BrowserStack. We are able to test the mobile application on multiple devices, split by iOS and Android, smartphone and tablet with different operation system versions and capabilities.
  • Mulitple devices
  • Report dashboard
  • Framework integration
  • Test observability
  • Report dashboard
  • Filters
  • Device capabilities
Positive overall. BrowserStack offers a good integration and we are able to test a lot of scenarios (meaning with mobile applications). Run time is appropriate. Of course, all can do better and improve all integrations, but BrowserStack is in a good way in my opinion. As a developer, I can focus on the documentation and I think it needs improvement to explain better all the functionalities. This does not mean documentation is not enough, but it is a little old (in some specific cases). Taking care of documentation is always a good choice.

We utilize BrowserStack for all of our cross browser testing. As a development agency this is a crucial step to any new page we are producing.
  • Ease of use
  • Implementation of new devices
  • Library of devices
  • Lag times on certain devices
BrowserStack suits our needs perfectly. For the price, it is a very simple yet robust cross browser testing tool. The interface is simple to use and very self explanatory, and it makes it very simple to test on specific devices, browsers, and screen sizes.

We use BrowserStack to test our various websites' cross-browser compatibility. We also use the built-in NVDA screen reader for accessibility testing.
  • 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 is excellent for testing CSS in different operating system and browser configurations. It's good for overall screen reader testing, but if you want to dive into NVDA vs. JAWS, BrowserStack isn't the best way to go.
