Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

The main purpose of using BrowserStack in the organization is to test cross-browser compatibility and whether the website is working fine in different browsers or not. It also offers multiple virtual devices like Android phones, iPhones, Tablets, and desktop devices with multiple OS where the website can be tested virtually to ensure the functioning of the site.
  • It provides multiple devices like phones, tablets, and desktops as real devices for testing the websites.
  • It also supports parallel testing so that the website can be tested on more than 1 device at a time.
  • The test session can be recorded and the screenshot can be captured for marking or recording the bugs found during testing.
  • The improvement can be made in pricing transparency.
  • Response or feedback speed is sometimes slow when we are connected to a network from which many users are connected.
  • Touch gestures can be improved for testing on mobile.
  • Checking cross-browser compatibility of the website.
  • Checking sites, and apps on real devices provided by BrowserStack.
  • The most important is parallel testing to save time.
  • The positive impact is that it saves time by providing a parallel testing feature, in which a website can be tested on more than 1 device at a time.
  • It provides enhanced quality & user experience.
  • Reduce the maintenance cost because we can identify the browser or device-based issues at the development phase, so there will be less chance of issues post-deployment.
  • The negative impact is that it heavily relies on a stable internet connection which creates problems with fluctuation.
Limited device and browser coverage for testing the site. Delayed issue identification which results in delayed bug fixes. Higher cost for keeping and maintaining the physical devices for testing.

BrowserStack is best for cross-browser compatibility testing, mobile testing, parallel testing, and debugging browser issues. While it is less appropriate if your network connection is not stable, it's because it's a cloud-based service and it relies on a stable internet connection.
