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.

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.

It is best suited for the testing purpose of the software or any kind of websites online. We need to pick up the device on the browser and then work on it.

Working on different devices sometime it will cause issues as to switch from one device to other is very difficult in BrowserStack.

It is well suited for automation, if it is mobile automation, even better, the variety of devices it huge. Also it is super convenient for manual tests on a abroad team, where sending physical devices is hard to, or complicated. Give access to BrowserStack and the whole team has access to a lot of devices, also it is easier to upgrade version of OS and hardware as well.

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.

BrowserStack is the go-to tool when there is a need to test something on a real device. It helps a lot when debugging certain problems that are specific to certain devices/OS's. On the other hand, BrowserStack is not a good platform for live developing a product due to its slow interaction speed.

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.

For visual regression testing it's great.

The Percy UI hasn't changed in years mostly. There's a lot of features I feel that could be implemented. Like identifying when a visual regression occurred, or flakiness of a snapshot first occurred. It feels like Percy doesn't get the love it needs, both in terms of UI, backend and CLI.

BrowserStack is well equipped with the devices and operating systems available to the user. BrowserStack only lacks the use of a real life device in you hands, but its next best thing for a tester.

BrowserStack is great for any web app/marketing site that has to work seamlessly across every browser, screen size, device, and location. It gives you the tools to test your web applications in nearly every scenario possible, allowing you to fix issues easily and efficiently. It's been incredibly helpful in allowing us to test our site from different locations as well, by using the VPN services, we can test our site's speed and responsiveness across the globe, dealing with any specific locale nuances very easily.

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.

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.

When dealing with a varied set of requirements/projects, a distributed staff roster, and/or not wanting to maintain, track, and audit an array of physical devices, BrowserStack App Live is an excellent solution. Quick to get started with, easy to learn, and has plenty of bells and whistles to augment and improve your mobile quality endeavors.

BrowserStack helps us identify the different browsers and operating systems our services can run on. This opens room for improvement of our services. Browser tackle works very well with our integrated test suit and complies very well with Visual Studio. The process of integration is made easier and is user-friendly.

As a developer, I could say use BrowserStack to check the applicaiton behaviour, appearance on various devices available in the market.
Also, one can find the older devices too, to use them for testing.

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

When you need to make sure that every change you make to the front end of a website will look good on EVERY device, you need to use BrowserStack. Before using it, we usually didn't spot some devices and resolutions where the change didn't look good. And you definitely want to make sure that something works optimal before sending it to the client.

Tests that do not interact with hardware or firmware and are exclusively cloud-based are excellent for BrowserStack testing. I'm not able to use BrowserStack for tests that rely on a Bluetooth connection to a separate piece of hardware, so I have to rely on a framework like Katalon that can give me a local Appium bridge to run tests on a tethered device. If BrowserStack can provide a SaaS solution to this problem, it would be a more attractive option to emerging IoT test automation needs.
