"We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues."
"While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA."
"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."
"Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience."
"We had some execution issues."
"There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."

"BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
