Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I like that it offers full device capability.""The most valuable features are the variety of tools available.""BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from.""It's helpful for me to test on different devices.""The main core concept behind this product is, it takes the overhead of maintaining all of your devices or particular computers. It continuously adds the latest devices that are coming into the market.""It just added some flexibility. There was nothing that improved our coding standards, etc. because all of our UIs were functional before we tried it.""BrowserStack's best feature is browser testing across different platforms, including mobile."

More BrowserStack Pros →

"The technical support is good, we were satisfied.""Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel.""This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily.""It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex.""The reporting is really nice.""It's stable and reliable."

Cons
"We had some execution issues.""One of the biggest issues with BrowserStack is that if you don't have your network set up by the book, it's hard to get it to work with local desk machines.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""We are struggling to do local testing.""We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues.""BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally.""I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms.""There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."

More BrowserStack Cons →

"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise.""It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue.""The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure.""Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution.""It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools.""There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases.""Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved.""The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible.
