Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

Working in web can be hard due to the sheer amount of devices out there - all with their own features, quirks and specifications. BrowserStack aims to bridge the gap between developers and the ever growing world of smartphones, tablets and desktop devices. A big challenge we find is that, for example, iOS testing can only be done on a Mac - with BrowserStack, a Windows-based developer finally has the tools to test their sites and apps all within a website.
  • Device testing
  • App testing
  • Automated testing
  • Cheaper pricing compared to competitors
  • Offering more in-depth trials
  • Offering a much wider array of older devices.
  • Cross-browser testing
  • Cross-device testing
  • App testing
  • Reduced costs on developers having to buy physical devices.
  • Reduced time wasted on trying to use software simulators to solve physical problems
  • Streamlined testing
BrowserStack is one of the leaders in cross-device testing with it's wide-array of devices, browsers and software. Pages load as fast as they possibly can within the simulators - we have to remember that there's naturally going to be delay due to location etc. but with BrowserStack's technology, this isn't an issue.
Massively. It's changed the way we view cross-platform testing as a whole. Having access to a large array of devices, software, browsers and even operating systems, it's allowed us to remove the hassle of buying physical devices. No more do we need to get a developer situated on a Mac for them to test on an iPhone.

A single Mac cost would be equivilent to 2-3 years of a BrowserStack subscription and having access to ALL devices rather than just one is a major benefit.

Developers are fussy, like, really fussy at times. A development team with everyone on the same tool-set is hard to find unless enforced. Some prefer macOS, Ubuntu, Windows etc. and BrowserStack bridges that gap where a developer cannot test on iOS devices or even Android devices. It provides full tools and dev tools.
