Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's initial setup phase was not very difficult."
"I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT.

BrowserStack has been excellent for testing these integrations, providing a seamless workflow development experience."
"It's helpful for me to test on different devices."
"Local testing for products with no public exposure is an advantage in development."
"The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing."
"The setup was quite simple. The website easily explains how to set it up and if you want to integrate it with BMP tools there are online simple step tutorials."
"The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices."
"The integration is very good."
"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."

"Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in."

"Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier."
"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."
"There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."

"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."

"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."
