Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

We use mainly BrowserStack App Automate for E2E test automation for our Android app and iOS app. It helps us solve daily regression testing of core flows in our apps.
We also use BrowserStack App Live for testing on specific device which are not available with us. This has helped us reproduce issues which are happening only in certain devices.
  • BrowserStack App Automate dashboard gives us video, screenshots and logs of what exactly happened during the test run. This helps us easily analyse failures in our automation test and figure out the root cause for failures.
  • BrowserStack App Live provides us with lot of devices to test on. This is specifically useful in case of high end iPhone devices which are costly for us to procure in house.
  • BrowserStack App Automate provides parallel threads which can be shared across multiple teams. This has helped us scale our mobile test automation effort across the organisation.
  • In house mobile lab might be cost effective initially but when it comes to maintaining it and add new devices as and when it comes in market makes it less cost effective than cloud solution like BrowserStack
  • Easier way to screen record just the mobile screen during App Live sessions. Current solution of recording via browser tab seems clumsy
  • Easier way to measure app launch time, screen load time etc during App Live sessions
  • Suggest on script improvement based on waiting time on screens etc in App automate dashboard.
  • Group tests which failed due to same reason so that root cause analysis can go faster.
  • App automate build dashboard
  • Good number of unique mobile device availability
  • Improved Dev : QA ratio. Less number of QA/Test engineer has been able to handle features build by developers.
  • Improved app quality. Issues on critical flows were caught earlier thanks to App automation running on BrowserStack
  • Faster release cycles. Release test time has reduced compared to the number of features which needs to be regressed.
Except for screenshot taking time to load on App Automate dashboard, I have been happy with performance and reliability of BrowserStack
We have been able to find and fix issues which happens only on specific real devices much easily compared to without BrowserStack.
This has helped improved productivity of our development and test engineers.

BrowserStack is well suited for organisation which are building mobile Apps since procuring, building and maintaining in house device lab is not cost effective for most companies on the long run.
BrowserStack is my preferred mobile cloud solution based on price, features and reliability perspective.
