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

"Game testing and the API for apps are good."

"Ability to use different frameworks."

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

"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."

"Video recording of the script running in a cloud server."

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

"Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms."

"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."

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

"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."

More CrossBrowserTesting pros

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

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

"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."

"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."

"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."

"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."

"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."

"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."

"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."

More CrossBrowserTesting cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."

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

"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."

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
