Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

Our primary goal is to ensure that our web solutions work as expected on different types of devices and browsers. Once we reviewed available solutions on the market, we decided to go with BrowserStack. We use it mostly in the QA department with each new release to ensure that we don't have any kind of regression issues.

Pros

  • Testing on various browsers. There are many online services to provide UI testing but they lack the number of desktops and mobile browsers supported.
  • Providing detailed test results. There is an extensive reports library that provides HTML5 reports that we customize based on our own requirements.
  • Selenium test implementation. Supporting Selenium Web drivers enables almost any possible kind of browser testing method, so you can emulate any kind of user actions.

Cons

  • Mobile testing. Not all devices are real physical devices, so you should understand that testing on some devices will be done using emulators and there is no guarantee that it will 100% match real device results.
  • Available devices for testing. A limited set of physical devices, for example, Amazon Kindle is supported only as a virtual emulator.
  • Improved quality.
  • Easy way to understand what actually fails.
This is one of the easiest to use products. There were good tutorials that we used on their website.

Did BrowserStack live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of BrowserStack go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BrowserStack again?

Yes

Good for desktop browsers testing and test automation. Good level of documentation on how to set up automated tests for developers and QA teams. Needs to have more device support on the mobile side. Well suited for general testing of your app or web site, but if you have some specific UI tests or devices support, first you need to check all kinds of tests available for you.
