Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"The screen shot portal is essential for an easy way to run tests across hundreds of browsers and retrieve screenshots which then indicate success or failure."
"The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests."
"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."
"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."
"Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"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."
"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"Customization is the most powerful feature of this product."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."

"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"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."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."
"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."
"The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine."
"Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly."
"Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less."
"The solution can improve the startup time."
