We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users.""CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing.""I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable.""When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site.""SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier.""The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots.""With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes."

More CrossBrowserTesting Pros →

"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface.""The way it identifies elements is good.""Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me.""The performance and load testing are very good."

Cons
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain.""A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing.""A problem that we are facing quite often is related to the network connection. Tests can fail if the remote CrossBrowserTesting's VM has connection problems. This happens mostly with browsers of Internet Explorer family which work on Windows OS.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable.""I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding.""Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy.""It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously.""There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
  • "A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
  • "CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
  • "It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
  • "SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."

    Top Answer:The way it identifies elements is good.
    Top Answer:Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy. In addition, sometimes, tests used to fail intermittently. These were the two disadvantages.
    Top Answer:Instead of Telerik Test Studio, I'd recommend writing test cases in .Net so that in the future, if you move away from Telerik Test Studio to another tool, it would be easier for you. Your current code… more »
