Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

We use BrowserStack mainly to run our Playwright-based web UI automation tests written in TypeScript. It helps us validate our app on multiple browsers and OS versions without needing to set up any local infrastructure.
Our tests are integrated with CI, so whenever someone raises a PR, the Playwright scripts run on BrowserStack's cloud grid. This gives us quick feedback on any browser-specific issues. Earlier we used to test only on Chrome locally, but now we cover Safari, Edge, and Firefox too and this really improved our overall test coverage and reduced production issues.

Pros

  • Makes cross-browser testing easy and reliable
  • Allows testing on real devices without physical setup

Cons

  • Debugging dynamic content sometimes tricky
  • Test sessions can be slow in the starting
  • BrowserStack has had a clearly positive impact on our testing process and delivery timelines. Since we integrated it with our Playwright automation suite, we’ve reduced our browser compatibility bugs
  • Now we can use many device in the same plan for testing it is also saving cost in maintaining physical device lab for testing on different devices

Do you think BrowserStack delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did BrowserStack live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of BrowserStack go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy BrowserStack again?

Yes

BrowserStack works really well when you need to test your web app across multiple browsers and devices, especially during regression or before a release. We use it a lot for Playwright automation in CI, also we run our automation script every time new we push new changes in the production environment.
