BrowserStack

Avantages

It's extremely easy to use, has variety of features, and most importantly almost all existing devices.

Inconvénients

It would be an awesome adition if we could also get several instances of Linux OS.

Avantages

I want to share more about this low code tool for now:
Gen AI self-healing capabilities.
Re-run & parallel execution capabilities.
integration with other tools.

Inconvénients

monolithic architecture.
launch time of devices.
variation of device versions.

Avantages

UI is very initiative, and ux us very sumple

Inconvénients

performance especcialy on videos and controls buttons

Avantages

What i like most about browserstack is it can make life of developer ans QA really easy when it comes down to testing web application

Inconvénients

We are sometimes not able to replicate fast user action on devices provided by browser stack

Avantages

ease of use, amount of region and devices, security

Inconvénients

would like to see advancements in the ADA identification space. I believe we tested your tool a few years ago yet imagine it has advanced. Will reach out to our customer success mgr to get a refresh.

Avantages

lates devices, quick testing easy availability.
Multi browser

Inconvénients

sometime sow response(other than network issue)

Avantages

I find the BrowserStack UI to be quite intuitive and pleasing to th eeye.

Inconvénients

The documentation can be a bit difficult to navigate at times.

Avantages

BrowserStack offers an impressive range of browsers, operating systems, and devices, ensuring comprehensive testing across various platforms. The ability to test on real devices is a huge advantage. This provides a more accurate representation of how apps will run in real-world scenarios, which may alleviate issues that might be missed with emulators or simulators.

Inconvénients

More access and longer parallel access to real device testing would be a great compliment to the student developer benefits from github.

Avantages

Availibility of various and latest devices at one place

Inconvénients

the slowness whenever one scroll the response is slow which makes it slow to test and is time consuming.

Avantages

The ease of use while integrating with our frameworks and how easily scalable it is.

Inconvénients

Support can be better in case of time-critical situations.

Avantages

BrowserStack is awesome! It's like having a bunch of phones and computers right at your fingertips. I can test my websites on all sorts of devices without actually owning them. It's super easy to use - just pick a device and boom, you're testing. It catches those annoying bugs that only pop up on certain browsers, which is a huge time-saver. The live testing feature is really cool too. It's like magic - I can see changes in real-time across different devices. Definitely makes my job way easier!

Inconvénients

The only thing that bugs me a bit is that sometimes it can be slow to load, especially when I'm in a rush. But honestly, it's not a big deal considering how much time it saves me overall. The pros totally outweigh this tiny hiccup.

Avantages

I have been using Browserstack since the time i have started working.
In my tenure of work ex i have used Browserstack at a broader level ,
it has helped me cover multiple aspects of testing, cater to client requirement which were specific to certain devices . In absence of physical devices BS has provided with wide range of emulator to test efficiently and with accuracy.
I can do define the test coverage for platforms and devices irrespective in the presence of devices.

Inconvénients

1. Slowness : at time the Bs becomes slow to in terms of fetching results
2. 1out of 5 times , While doing niche UI testing the accuracy level is not reliable as the behavior changes on physical devices
3. Cost effective as compared to other tools present in market

Avantages

Best cloud hosted devices for cross platform and cross browser testing of application. Lots of devices options for mobile application testing as well. Visual testing automation is also possible. It supports almost all kind of frameworks for the selenium, appium, playwright.

Inconvénients

ios devices lags a lot can't work properly for manual testing. Documentations needs improvement.

Avantages

Working as a developer at a large retailer, I use Browserstack almost daily to test our website changes (internal and external) across a wide range of devices. Browserstack is particularly useful compared to competitors because it has the widest range of actual devices (physical, not emulators), including many older devices.

Inconvénients

Dev tools occasionally act strangely on iOS devices, cutting off elements in the Elements panel for example.

Avantages

Lots of product & variety of models, easy to use.

Inconvénients

Proxy and debug tools are unstable, need to restart quite often.

Avantages

- Several different devices available
- For the same device, different OS versions available
- Easy to switch between browsers/devices
- Live app testing
- Crossbrowser testing
- Devices comparison side by side
- Location settings
- Integration with different tools suck as Jira, Azure, etc which helps reporting
- Automation features

Inconvénients

- Session timeout
- Gets slow if apps are too heavy
- Would like a more detailed/code oriented dev tools

Avantages

1. We can able to enable the Developer tools to observe the failures in network calls.
For example: I am launching the web URL in Safari/Chrome Browser and for some reason, if it is getting failed means there I can able to enable the Developer tools and able to verify the failure calls.

2. We can able to do local testing by installing BrowserStackLocal.msi. There we can test our web applications in local also. I personally love this feature.

3. We can also do Accessibility testing. I have did this and it is working as expected.

4. We can able to do Selenium automation for browser validations. It gives confident to both QA and Dev about the application stability and also we can ensure that all functionalities are working fine as we do testing in REAL devices.

Inconvénients

1. Sometimes we can slowness and rendering while we do testing.
2. I found some some difficulties in setting up the local setup while testing.

Avantages

With BrowserStack, compatibility test coverage is made easier, allowing us to effortlessly test across multiple browsers, devices, and operating systems. Streamline the testing process and ensure seamless user experiences with real-time results.

Inconvénients

some times the latest devices are not available or there is a delay in adding. it would be nice to keep the prices affordable for Freelancers.

Avantages

BrowserStack integrates seamlessly with my development workflow, and its robust automation support with frameworks like Selenium makes catching issues faster and more efficient. BrowserStack has become indispensable for ensuring my projects are bug-free 🥳

Inconvénients

While BrowserStack is an invaluable tool, its pricing can be a bit steep for individual developers or small teams. Additionally, the interface, though powerful, can sometimes feel a bit cluttered and overwhelming, especially for new users.

Avantages

Browserstack almost provide all the experience of real device. It has ability to test location based functionality, screen recording and other great features that helps specially QA to gather artifacts while testing and recording bugs.

Inconvénients

There is nothing as such that I liked least, however there are areas where there is room for improvement like sessions getting un-interactive after few minutes. Face video calls if possible.

Avantages

Huge selection of devices and browser/operating system combination makes it essential to properly investigate on bugs that you couldn't test or find out on your development environment.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the initial connection to the devices navigation is a bit slow or needs a refresh but given the nature of the service it's acceptable.

Avantages

Execution on a real device. The pass % will be close to what experience the user will get.

Inconvénients

Device tier concept while execution makes it a parallel session running a variable number of devices.

Avantages

Responsive testing for UI interfaces and accessibility testing.

Inconvénients

Delay in loading the different devices/browsers while live testing on real devices.

Avantages

I like that I can switch between browsers or apps easily.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it freezes or takes me to a blank page

Avantages

What I like the most is it gives us real-time and multiple device options also live testing on an ios emulator, and can easily check by changing the location and rotating the devices, Accessibility testing, Also automation testing so helpful

Inconvénients

Location is very less also on Mac OS animation doesn't work properly n very slow.
