BrowserStack Reviews

Best Product Design and Testing Platform!

Comments: My overall experience with BrowserStack is great, I still remember when I first integrated with Browser stack, and saw the standalone remote test run 5 years back! It was so cool!

Pros:

Its a great tool for web and mobile based applications, where I need to test various devices. Comes in handy with all the configurations, well documented about the usage. For a beginner to expert, its a very good tool!

Cons:

Sometimes I noticed minor bugs, like the same build from CI runs twice. So they can be better tested before releases.

Robust cross-browser testing software

Comments: My experience with BrowserStack has been quite positive overall. It stands out for its robust cross-browser testing capabilities and the convenience of accessing real devices remotely. The platform’s interface is generally user-friendly, and it supports a wide range of browsers and operating systems, which is great for ensuring compatibility across different environments.

Pros:

BrowserStack is a really handy tool for testing websites and apps across different devices and browsers. What I like most about it is its ability to provide real-time testing on actual devices rather than emulators. This can give you a much more accurate picture of how your site or app will perform in the wild. Plus, the ease of access to a wide range of devices and configurations can really streamline the development process and help catch issues early. Have you used BrowserStack yourself, or are you considering it for a project

Cons:

One area where BrowserStack might have room for improvement is in the performance of its live testing feature. Sometimes, users report that the interaction can feel a bit laggy or slow, especially when dealing with high-traffic sites or complex application

BrowserStack is Overall good but need some upgrade

Comments: I am using BS more than 3 to 4 yrs.
Most of Using app and web live
Less use of Accessibility and Web Inspector

Pros:

Web live and App Live most like from this. Also App live its good for open any new devices like iphone and Android

Cons:

Not able to open last opened device . Also not able to open setting menu for phone when we using app live

Good but buggy

Comments: Overall good, some show stopping bugs which affect testing

Pros:

Good choice of devices and browsers, easy interface

Cons:

Slow and buggy, session frequently crash or fail to load

Browser Stack - The all-in-one testing solution

Comments: It is good so far. Will be exploring Live, Automate, Test Management and other side of it.

Pros:

App Live and App Automate. Will be exploring Live and Automate for WEB.

Cons:

No such con to mention as such. I would like the team to work on APP Performance Testing which can share App metrics(Device metrics like memory, cpu, battery etc) along with ui rendering time and api response times.

BrowserStack, your guaranteed path to ROI

Comments: Using BrowserStack has been a game changer for the many teams that I've led in different organizations who chose to subscribe, it provides guaranteed ROI and great bang for the buck, in addition to all the amazing technical features that allowed all my teams to use it effectively and efficiently. And of course to me personally as an open-source contributor, being able to test my open source project against any device or OS I can think of has been a great help to identifying and fixing issues as fast as possible. Especially after integrating BrowserStack in my GitHub Actions pipelines.

Pros:

The variety of devices, ease of use, API integration, and the openness of the support team to share any needed information.

Cons:

Honestly, there's nothing I don't like about BrowserStack.

Great for quick access to multiple platforms for the team

Comments: It's great to be able to quickly get up an running with testing our code on whichever platform we need.

Pros:

It's very easy to invite team members to the account to allow us to keep the flow of development and testing going in various browsers in both macOS and Windows.

Cons:

We have 5 licenses, however 1 is always reserved for the account holder and 1 is always reserved for the admin. These 2 people rarely use this, so we really only have 3 usable licenses to share.

A must-have for mobile testing

Comments: It's an essential tool that I enjoy using because it's well designed, fast and easy to use.

Pros:

I love the speed of opening a test platform, switching to others, and how easy it is to use it and interact with text fields. I have noticed stability improvements over the years that I love.

Cons:

It can't perfectly replicate the experience of having a mobile device in my hands, so that's the main shortcoming.

Affordable app with a wide range of tools.

Comments: Browserstack is easy to use, comfortable to start and has the functionality I need in my work.

Pros:

Browserstack is affordable for a single user – that's the main reason I chose it. As the only user in the team, I was looking for a tool that allows me to keep my documentation organised and offers an affordable plan.

Cons:

I'm a new user – haven't found any cons yet.

Powerfull testing tool for all test management needs

Pros:

BrowserStack - We can trust for Cross browser testing and it is Reliable testing platform

Comments: Overall Experience is Excellent! We no need to worry about the real device which we don't have. I am so confident that we can rely on Browserstack!and there is no doubt on this.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

QA Automator Review

Comments: Great experience so far, makes things so much easier.

Pros:

Easy access to multiple configurations of devices, OS, and browsers. No need to setup on the client side.

Cons:

Dashboard to review automated tests could use improvement. I just dont like the way it looks.

Great tool for any QA job

Comments: Overall, BrowserStack has been a great tool for QA at my current job and I have used it consistently over the last 5+ years. I can't imagine going back to not using it, now that it has become such an integral part of my day-to-day work.

Pros:

I like how it is all web-based and quickly connects to additional devices/browsers in order to test applications and web pages. It's very nice being able to officially support devices and browsers that you normally wouldn't have easy access to obtain or test against.

Cons:

Some of the paid products have steep pricing models. There are also times where devices will just get stuck on a loading screen and don't officially boot-up which can get a little annoying when you are just wanting to quickly test something.
