It's helped me when I've been short of devices and want to test whether the application will work on a specific device or not.

It's good that Testdroid are providing more devices to end users so that one who doesn't have a device can use it on the cloud. It's helped me when I've been short of devices and want to test whether the application will work on a specific device or not Device fragmentation was good enough for…

Static screenshots are the feature most often used, because they are a simple method of detecting problems

When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a variety of browsers and devices. CBT works with our testing environment and development site. Our greatest concern is universal appearance and functionality, thus we test a great many…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."

"CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing."

"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."

"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."

"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."

"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."

"Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users."

More CrossBrowserTesting pros

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."

"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."

"Sometimes the testing is slow."

"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."

"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."

"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."

"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."

"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."

"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."

More CrossBrowserTesting cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."

"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."

"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."

"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."

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
