LambdaTest review for functional and responsive QA
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used LambdaTest to functionally test and validate key aspects of our journal application: such as functionality of media viewing, polls, education workflows, account signup, subscription flows, ect. Along with the respective responsive and visual aspects of those flows. LambdaTest is especially important to us as a consistent environment for cross-browser and device testing in a remote QA team, as it enables us to test our website against a wide variety of mobile device sizes, OS, and browsers.
Pros
- Variety of testing devices and browsers
- Mapping of Desktop interaction to mobile touch
- Fast spin-up and spin-down
- Easy screenshotting and video recording feature
- Ease of use as a tester
Cons
- Latency and flakiness of some mobile touch, especially on iOS
- Slower spin-up and spin-down for iOS devices
- Not easy to zoom in to read small text
Likelihood to Recommend
LambdaTest is well-suited for testing your web application against mobile workflows, cross-OS and cross-browser situations, as well as checking the real responsiveness of your website. However, due to the latency of LambdaTest, and occasional small discrepancies between mobile flows on the platform vs having real devices, it is still good to use real mobile devices from time to time as they are not always one to one. Sometimes due to the clunkiness of mobile LambdaTest for iOS I would opt to use a physical device for a smoother experience.
