Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack
We use BrowserStack observability in our organization. We use to track test reports for regression suite for various products in our org. It gives a nice GUI for all test runs and health status for a given suite and charts out time series test performance along with other metrics. The thing it lacks it understanding between a test rerunning as part of retry logic in TestNG, as currently it counts failure even if in retry the test is passed. It also has some issue with correctly understanding skip tests as it runs/counts that as well even when run is set to false. Support for other frameworks like Spock should be included.
Pros
- Reporting
- Charting
- Health status
- Failed test labelling
Cons
- Skipped identification
- Retry run identification
- Other framework inclusion
- Reporting
- Slack integration
- Test/Build Health
- Quick Health Check of product
- Areas of concern highlighted
- Testing trends gives alert
Lacking visibility into test health status. It was difficult to consolidate different test suite and share reports with others. Slack reporting was not as useful and lacked insights. Configuring Alert was not possible. Understanding of flakiness was not as visible and being ignored sometimes. Also new failure vs old failures identification was difficult
- Test Observability
It helped in consolidation of different test reports and giving a visibility of testing trends. Slack integration gives test result as part of CI/CD which is nice to have. Labelling of different test in different category is useful in quick identification of required tests to look into. Historical run result gives idea on when a particular issue starts appearing which is helpful in fixing issue
