At this point, our primary focus is on manual testing, utilizing BrowserStack's cloud-based infrastructure to ensure that our web applications work seamlessly across a wide range of browsers and devices.

We use it to test websites from different desktop and mobile browsers. It's great when we have to debug issues or just test a new functionality on a website we are building. We have used for years and we will continue using it. We also need to do some research on the other testing capabilities.

We use BrowserStack to leverage real-world devices in our mobile testing efforts. Not having to obtain and manage several devices running multiple operating systems and versions has freed us to focus more on authoring quality tests and documentation. Having the ability to connect to a live device running a specific OS version has helped us narrow down root causes.

Since we work from home, it is important for our developers and QA to have access to multiple real devices, BrowserStack is a good solution for that since it can provide the devices on the cloud. Also we use BrowserStack to run our test automation on real devices.

Buy a subscription and you will be addicted to it. Just loved the features and the ease of use!

I use BrowserStack for web manual testing as well as for test automation. For the cross-browser and device compatibility testing. The BrowserStack App Live is the most widely used feature in our organization to test mobile applications. We use this to test the mobile applications manually as well as we have integrated the same in our test automation frameworks as well.

As a large city agency, we have used BrowserStack to test our numerous websites and applications. Especially for the public-facing websites, we must ensure they are mobile-first. BrowserStack provides us the ability to test on all the latest mobile devices with a simple setup. The ease of use of UI from BrowserStack minimized the need of training for new employees.

We have several mobile apk and to test all those applications in all latest Android and iOS devices which are available in the markets is simply very difficult and costly. So BrowserStack helped us to test in all latest devices which are in the market currently. BrowserStack will provide you latest real devices for all your testing which makes easier to test our applications in lots of mobile devices with very less cost.

We utilize BrowserStack to diagnose problems our customers are facing, including visual errors, checkout issues, and browser specific functions, like reader view on iPhones. We use it across our different teams, like ecommerce, IT, development team, and others to verify features work properly, issues can be replicated, and all use cases are accounted for.

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

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.

While using the BrowserStack we solve one of the biggest problem we were facing that is we are getting everything means every browser at single place and that is more feasible for us To use it.

BrowserStack is our tool of choice for all our compatibility testing. Our team uses it as part of our verification process and has even recommended its use to our clients for continuity. We do our mobile application testing on App live and our web application testing on Live. The devices and OS are always up to date, and feature use/access is fairly straightforward. Looking forward to exploring this tool further as we evolve our test process and use different parameters. We recently added a beta feature to one of our accounts after a representative's recommendation and are happy to say it was easy to implement and allowed us to successfully continue our testing with little delay. Their customer service is relatively timely, often engaging in issue-resolving dialogue within hours of initial contact. I hope to see more integrations with their products and other distribution software; we recently switched to Bitrise, which is not directly unavailable via App Live (it is available on their automated tools), like App Center. Overall our test team is satisfied with the products we've chosen, and this tool has become integrated into our test process. Special thanks to the representatives for answering our inquiries and offering straightforward solutions!

We are using BrowserStack for our mobile tests, manual and automated. For manual, it is easy to use, upgrade and manager, gives the team autonomy to have access to different devices. For automation, we are planning to run some mobile tests in Browserstack and also some visual tests as well. This would help improve team velocity and quality.

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.
