Live testing helps us to debug problems across all browsers. Tests can fail if the remote VM has connection problems.
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We have a bunch of JavaScript libraries which are used on thousands of websites for showing advertisements. 

When I had just joined the company, there were no tests at all and the deploying process was very unpredictable. Therefore, we decided to cover the libraries by unit and integration tests.

How has it helped my organization?

During first test stages of implementation, CrossBrowserTesting's live testing was helpful because my company is more about the server's programming and we do not have real devices for the manual testing of the UI. Then, 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.

What is most valuable?

At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development. Live testing helps us to debug problems across all browsers.

What needs improvement?

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. I would like CrossBrowserTesting's engineers to deal with this issue.
