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…

The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to use different frameworks."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"The licensing costs are a little bit high and should be reduced."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"The recording function, when using Python, could be improved, as it does not work well in recording testing."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"The solution's pricing is too high."
"The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"It comes with a high cost."
