Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack
We are web developers and were looking for something to help us test lots of devices all at once. We signed up to BrowserStack because we knew you could emulate devices with different browsers, and we were hoping this would speed up our testing. We mainly used this feature although I know it has a lot of other functionality but we didn't need to use that.
Pros
- Ability to test many different types of devices
- Ability to test many different browsers
- See a list of all the major device and browser combinations
Cons
- You could only emulate a few devices at a time meaning you had to be quite choosy with the device / browser combinations you were testing
- Although you could favourite devices, you couldn't seem to easily launch a group of emulators - you had to add them all in again
- The emulators could be a bit slow and laggy
- Emulated Device Testing
- Favouriting Devices
- Testing Multiple Devices at Once
- It was a nice to have but with a range of devices in the office, we were able to test on those rather than needing the emulators
- We ultimately decided that $50 a month could be better spent as it didn't seem to be saving us a lot of time in practice.
It can be difficult to test at scale with all the different device combinations. There's also sometimes scenarios where a client has an issue on a really specific device that we don't have and therefore it is useful to be able to emulate the device so we can fix the issue.
- Live
They allowed us to test a website on multiple devices either individually or at the same time, on different browsers.
