Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 27, 2025

BrowserStack and LambdaTest are competing in the cross-browser testing domain. BrowserStack seems to have the upper hand with its feature richness and ease of deployment, while LambdaTest offers competitive pricing and favorable ROI.

Features:BrowserStack is recognized for its extensive device coverage, real-time testing, and integration capabilities with a wide range of browsers and operating systems. It provides cross-browser compatibility testing with access to numerous devices for manual and automated testing. LambdaTest offers seamless integration with popular development tools, geolocation testing, and supports parallel testing, making it appealing to developers focused on efficient test cycles.

Room for Improvement:BrowserStack could enhance support for more diverse browser versions and improve the user interface for complex configuration scenarios.

Good in the area of automation and offers a high test coverage to users

I integrated BrowserStack into our company's web and application test workflows because it has plugins that work with browsers and applications, allowing for cross-browser testing. BrowserStack was really helpful for cross-browser testing in areas involving mobiles, web applications, or tablets. The tool can help with the testing across all applications. I have not experienced any time-saving feature from the use of the tool. My company uses the product for real-device testing since it has a bunch of devices in our library. My company has a repository where we do manual testing. BrowserStack improved the quality of our company's applications. Improvements I have seen with the testing part revolve around the fact that it is able to do testing at a fast pace. The quality of the product is better since it can go through all the parts of the applications, meaning it can provide high test coverage. The tool is also good in the area of automation. The test coverage is higher, and the time taken during the testing phase is less due to automation. I have not used the product's integration capabilities since my company doesn't have the option to look at other QA testing tools like Selenium, which can be used for the automation capabilities provided. The product should offer more support for cross-browser testing, device testing, and testing across multiple devices. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users

I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.
