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.

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.

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.

The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests.

The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default.

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.

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.

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