Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues.""With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes.""I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable.""When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration.""SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users.""It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices."

"It is a scalable solution.""The technical support services are excellent.""We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring.""In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues.""LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more.""The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us.""Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues.""The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."

Cons
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same.""Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""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.""Sometimes the testing is slow.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up.""This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices.""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."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use.""I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow.""It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics.""Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.""Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon.""LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team.""I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool.""The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
