(1-25 of 74)great tool , reduces time and cost
- 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
- 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
We have limited devices for running automated tests and buying new devices is too much expensive and the devices got outdated quickly.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
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.
BrowserStack reviewed by Test Manager
- real time browsers and devices
- mobile app management
- parallel testing for web and mobile and app
- local testing support
- customer support
- performance of mobile app execution in the provided devices
- more real cases should be able to test like camera, network , calling cases
- reporting
- huge amount of devices and browsers are available
- proper documentation and support available
Seamless Cross-Browser Compatibility Testing Tool
- 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.
- 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
Purchase that you will not regret
- 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
A Clear Path to Cross-Browser Testing Success
- 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
An Efficient and Reliable Visual Testing Tool.
- Percy for visual testing.
- Percy's integration with our development workflow.
- The dashboard presents visual changes systematically.
- Percy can be on the pricier side.
Good for cross browser testing and parrallel automation run
- 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
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
- Test iOS, Android devices with wide range of sizes and models.
- Cross-browser testing .
- Local Environment testing.
- End-to-End testing.
- Automate Mobile test cases
- Require more user friendly documentation.
- Some times speed issues with some devices.
Scale your mobile testing with BrowserStack
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 my preferred mobile cloud solution based on price, features and reliability perspective.
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.
