Overall Satisfaction with LambdaTest

We use LambdaTest in tandem with the QA team at Verint. All our functional testing is moved to LambdaTest in April 2020 due to covid situation. We moved to cloud solution as a result of work from home situation but now we have decided to go along with cloud solution due to its ease of use and affordability. Apart from the range or OS and Browsers, the Circle CI and the orb provided works flawlessly with our pipeline. Ability to get the report and recording of parallel section for retrograde analysis helps us to keep track of test. Capability of parallel testing is better than owning a virtual machines or on premise lab. Being a cloud service it is not as fast as the on premise lab but parallel testing capability is a good enough trade off and help us pace up deployment cycle.
  • Circle CI orb
  • Parallel testing capability
  • Ability to work remotely
  • Easier team collaboration with integrating with Slack and Jira
  • Helpful support team
  • There is no native app testing
  • There is no real devices (Only emulators and simulators)
  • Slower then on premise setup
  • Integration with Circle CI
  • Stable performance and one less work of maintaining a testing lab
  • Range of browsers and OS it covers
  • Automation testing in parallel sessions
  • Automation testing has a bit of a learning curve
  • Lack of real device keep that bug in your head if not on the website.
  • Need to wait for a while for a new OS or browser version on the contrary of immediate availability in case of owning a lab
It has real devices and native app testing but these are not our absolute priority and these two features were making it more expensive. Otherwise they are also really good at their offering and services. Real devices are tad bit slower in my opinion as compared to simulators on LambdaTest.

Do you think LambdaTest delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did LambdaTest live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of LambdaTest go as expected?

No

Would you buy LambdaTest again?

Yes

[Lambda Test] is suitable while building a website and for cross browser testing on emulators and simulators but if something is extremely mission critical and you can not afford slightest of error you need to find other solution with real device testing. Web app testing can be done, even page behind login is also there but native app testing of APK files is not there. Before making a decision check with your needs. Apart from these missing capabilities they are pretty much on point with the performance and usability of the platform.
