Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So currently we are using BrowserStack Live, Automate, and Percy to test and maintain our product. So first we run Percy to check if we have any regressions due to the current development, Then for production E2e we run it with Selenium on Automate, and also we perform manual testing on Live devices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Verifying the snapshots of whole application with Percy
Logging and monitoring the e2e with Automate
Manual testing on multiple real devices, that is really cool

Cons

Percy is somehow not performing that well, we have some issues with executing JS
Automate Session issues, so sometime it's unable to open the driver session

Most Important Features

Percy Snapshots comparison
E2E execution and monitoring with recordings
Live Devices

Return on Investment

Improved Automated testing
Improved productivity
faster development

Performance

Currently with BrowserStack Percy and BrowserStack Automate, there are some issues is currently ongoing where it is unstable sometime. With Percy we are not able to execute the JS in our current scenario, but are unable to use it.

Comprehensive Coverage

This is true, we are saving a lot of manual effort due to Percy and Automate, and our product is more stable. Percy is very useful, it finds the bugs in very early phase, we run Percyw in our ci-cd after the development changes, so with the development ongoing we can check the regressions for the Product.

Alternatives Considered

So I didn't use any other products, so I can not provide any more feedback on this one.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are working on continuous development and integration then it is really very supportive to avoid some regressions. With automated processes, there is very less work to test/monitor the whole app with minimal effort. It saves a lot of development work to avoid regressions in the early face without any manual efforts.
