BrowserStack Other Advice

ANand Kale - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Practice Lead - Business and Experience Transformation at Peristent Systems

I integrated BrowserStack into our company's web and application test workflows because it has plugins that work with browsers and applications, allowing for cross-browser testing. 

BrowserStack was really helpful for cross-browser testing in areas involving mobiles, web applications, or tablets. The tool can help with the testing across all applications.

I have not experienced any time-saving feature from the use of the tool.

My company uses the product for real-device testing since it has a bunch of devices in our library. My company has a repository where we do manual testing.

BrowserStack improved the quality of our company's applications.

Improvements I have seen with the testing part revolve around the fact that it is able to do testing at a fast pace. The quality of the product is better since it can go through all the parts of the applications, meaning it can provide high test coverage. The tool is also good in the area of automation. The test coverage is higher, and the time taken during the testing phase is less due to automation.

I have not used the product's integration capabilities since my company doesn't have the option to look at other QA testing tools like Selenium, which can be used for the automation capabilities provided.

The product should offer more support for cross-browser testing, device testing, and testing across multiple devices.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

I integrate BrowserStack into web or app testing workflows. My company uses an IPF file or APK file, which we use to install applications on the devices in BrowserStack, after which we do the load testing.

The product helps with cross-browser testing since our company's applications are open source, so we use a link to open such applications on different devices.

My company has also used the product for version testing to see which Android versions support our company's applications. The product has made accessibility easy for my company.

BrowserStack helped improve the quality of our company's applications, especially in the areas of accessibility and resolutions. For UI purposes, it is very good. UI and version support are important since some of the features are not supported on lower versions of the Android application. Some of my company's applications are not supported in a higher version of Android application. The aforementioned issues were resolved on different device systems with the help of BrowserStack.

The real device testing and simulation offered by the product work, but I have seen a small difference between the responses I received from both. With the product, my company gets instant messages or instant installation of applications along with procedures on a real device, but the simulation takes some seconds more or extra time than the area of real device testing.

The tool does improve the quality of our company's products since we have checked it on different devices and resolutions, after which we have seen that we have improved in many areas, including our actual applications. In general, the product does improve the devices.

BrowserStack has a feature that allows the automation of uploading and downloading HAR files, but I have never used it.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

My advice to anyone looking into BrowserStack and products like it is to really do some research into the products you want to use. Our company looked to our team of QA personnel to evaluate other products. At the end of the day, they came back and said that most of the competing products in the category did not meet all the needs we have. BrowserStack continues to be the leader as far as meeting the needs of our QA team.  

During the research, we looked for reports on the review sites, the recommendations people were making, and whatever feedback we could find from real users. Certainly, it is important for us to try and be exhaustive in researching before we make any recommendation and the investment that goes along with committing to a product. We have to make sure the product is going to absolutely meet our needs. We do not want to waste time picking the wrong product for the job.  

From the research that we did, I was looking to see the overall percentages of recommendations. I think BrowserStack showed that it was more widely used across the industry than Perfecto. I think they are both similar offerings, but BrowserStack systems just seem to be the clear, popular choice. A lot of that is probably just that their pricing model is more favorable.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate the BrowserStack as probably a seven-out-of-ten.

I suggest products to clients. I suggest which product is good for testing, for emulators. I'm a technical lead.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. Whenever any new version is there, it will immediately be added.

Right now, we are working currently with the iOS TestFlight. We are testing using that.

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by including local testing. I recommend that users consider implementing the solution because of its compatibility testing and nice concept.

I would recommend others who want to use BrowserStack to see if they can receive a promotion period, at no cost, and test it out.

I rate BrowserStack an eight out of ten.

Approximately a year ago I would rate BrowserStack a six or seven out of ten because it was very buggy.

I would advise those wanting to use the solution to make sure they know their specific requirements and intended usage before purchasing a license. You do not want to purchase features you do not want to use. Use the free version first and then once you understand the solution you can purchase it.

I rate BrowserStack a seven out of ten.

Everyone has their own analysis. I advise them to analyze whether it's a good tool for their requirements before deploying it.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten because it's difficult to replicate the way we experience BrowserStack on the spot on our virtual device. But because of its growing functionalities and features, we can't shift to multiple devices, so we have to go for BrowserStack.

It would be great if BrowserStack came with a downloadable mobile device option. The adoption of new tools on BrowserStack would be helpful. Playwright is one of these tools currently offered by Microsoft. I would rate BrowserStack a ten out of ten.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. The solution is good but is not fully developed and can be improved by enhancing its network connections to avoid network issues. I recommend the solution to users considering it and advise them to understand their use case first and how to utilize the solution.

For UI testing it is easy to use. But for automation perspective, configuration is lil bit confusing for the first time user. They are doing great job by maintaining the performance of this product.

We needed to test our application in different browsers and BrowserStack had all the configurations we needed. There were some small issues though, but they haven’t prevented us from using the product. I think that product was easy to use. It was fast to start with it and didn’t need any additional technical knowledge.
