LambdaTest Reviews

We use the product to perform real-time testing of websites and mobile applications. This involves checking different operating systems and browsers for web and mobile functionality.

The platform’s most valuable feature is its ability to provide access to different versions of browsers and operating systems. This helps me ensure compatibility across various platforms and versions.

They could improve the product in terms of load testing performance. Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency.

I've been using LambdaTest for about six months.

The platform is stable, although there have been minor issues with UI. However, they haven't affected its overall performance significantly.

Currently, four people in our organization are using LambdaTest. The scalability depends on the plan purchased. 

We may use it more in the future, depending on our testing needs and requirements.

We chose the platform because it provides access to various browser and OS versions, essential for our testing needs. Additionally, the trial version allowed us to compare it with other tools before deciding.

The initial setup and deployment were easy.

I would advise them to consider LambdaTest, especially if they need to test across different browsers and OS versions. It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool.

I rate it as nine out of ten.

Running tests serially can be a good option when your product is at an early stage. However, as we scaled the product, we needed a tool to reduce test time execution and pace up our test cycles.

LambdaTest simplified the Selenium testing experience for us with their cloud-based platform, which allowed us to execute our test cases in parallel on hundreds of browsers. We could easily automate the test cases, get the sessions recorded, and share the test reports across the team for the assessment using Asana integration.

We even leverage the integration with CircleCI to run automated tests on LambdaTest through our pipeline. The CircleCI Orb is handy for testing our privately-hosted application.

It’s good to see, now that we are using LambdaTest, we can run multiple tests on multiple VMs, saving us hours of testing time and the maintenance cost of local infrastructure. 

Personally, one thing I find that LambdaTest does very well is continuing to provide tutorials for testing, so that we stay up to speed and are even able to learn new things. I definitely saw myself applying a lot of the new concepts that I learned from their blogs.

LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more.

As we use Asana, it was good to see that LambdaTest provides support to the tool, as it made our task much easier.

The support documentation is precise and could actually help you get started, without the need for the support team.

We can test on local environments faster with CircleCI Orb with an extensive range of browsers and devices to test on.

Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use. We had a few slugs in the early stage of implementation while running parallel tests; however, the support team was helpful in resolving it.

I have been using LambdaTest for seven months.

We evaluated Sauce Labs and we chose LambdaTest because it was an affordable product with a good feature set. 

This is an affordable product.

Partnerize Partner Management Platform (PMP) is an end-to-end, SaaS-based solution for forming, managing, analyzing, and predicting the future results of partner marketing programs using artificial intelligence. It is a real-time technology and, our platform comes up with regular updates and requires it to be tested in all major browsers. This became increasingly important as we built a wide user base across even legacy browsers.

We want our web app to work on every single device, at the peak performance, as any bug or loss of data will result in loss of time contrary to the 'Real Time' promise we give to our clients. So, we have to thoroughly test our whole environment before pushing any changes across all possible use cases.

Before LambdaTest, we were using our own infrastructure of VMs. This was not easy to manage and consuming significant resources on maintenance only. We were a small team when I started working and the DevOps team was already under constant workload, and a VM infrastructure is very costly, especially for us as we need to test our product on multiple devices.

In dire need of scale, we realized our existing practices will not going to last for long. After a lot of brainstorming and product trials, we switched partially first, and then fully to LambdaTest.

LambdaTest was handy and easy enough to save us a lot of time, effort, and money. Especially parallel testing, which was the breather we needed to scale. Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration.

The most valuable feature is reliability. My team automates multiple tests in parallel across hundreds of browsers. The automation grid from LambdaTest is robust enough to execute them without any surprises, every time.

Integrations are very helpful and I have lost the count of integrations that LambdaTest has. The platform is cleverly coupled with all of the other platforms we need on day to day basis for our development needs. Pushing the bug on Slack is a click away, for example. LambdaTest's Slack app gives results of screenshot testing from the Slack command itself. We in fact integrated it with Trello to mark bugs in our tasks and stories. And, we integrated our Jenkins jobs with LambdaTest using its Jenkins Plugin.

Though the platform does well in almost every aspect for us, there are a couple of things they can do to give it an absolute edge.

1. Dashboard Analytics: It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics. Though I haven't seen it in this category, I feel this feature can take the platform to another level.
2. Real Devices: LambdaTest has almost all of the emulators and they are good for the most part, but I can see as we grow that we will need real devices. I hope they catch up with that as well.

I have been using LambdaTest for the last year and a half.

We used Virtual Machines prior to LambdaTest. That infrastructure was extremely costly to scale for our ever-increasing variety of browsers. It was also consuming a lot of our DevOps hours.

We evaluated BrowserStack, CrossBrowserTesting, and Sauce Labs.

When the pandemic demanded us to work from home, it was a daunting situation for us. Keeping up with the consistent growth for the past year, we had a few feature-launches ready to be deployed on production environments. However, testing them was a challenge while working remotely and with a large team of testers and developers.

We wanted a tool where the team can work collaboratively at a faster pace and get started with deployments.

LambdaTest is a saving soldier for our company by offering us thousands of browsers & platforms to test on the cloud. We are able to ensure a sturdy UI without worrying about infrastructure management.

It receives plus points for a Docker extension, where we could locally test on multiple instances through the Lambda Tunnel using Docker. This helped us align better with our DevOps team, it kept our projects on track and allowed us to implement continuous deployment with robust quality checks.

The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel.

The fact that it integrates well with tools like Jira and Slack makes team collaboration even easier.

Also, it is worthwhile to mention that the support team is actively listening to your feedback and issues. As we wanted to get our product tested on the latest Safari 14 browser, our request was considered and they updated to the browser within two weeks.

Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status. It would be better if I could analyze groups of tests that are taking a long time to complete, to pin-point use cases which could lead to slowness in the user journey.

It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing.

We have been using LambdaTest for six months.

Being an e-commerce website, our main concern was to make sure that we don't lose out on customers due to a bad shopping experience. LambdaTest proved to be a savior for us here, as one platform does the job!

My team was able to test our website across varied browsers, based on our target audience, and reflect on any bugs encountered.

We use TeamCity to manage projects and were surprised to see LambdaTest offering integration with the tool. I would say we stumbled across the right tool at a right time.

Our previous tool was a dent for us in terms of pricing, so while looking out for alternatives, LambdaTest seemed to be the right fit that we could explore.

We had a few doubts about the parallel tests and their pricing, but the support team was efficient and was able to justify and explain the process to set up. Since then, it's been a permanent tool for us!

We needed a robust platform that could help us serve the demand in time. The tool caters to our needs and the one-click bug management is extremely useful for us.

The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly.

The choices of browsers are massive and responsive testing becomes easy.

Integrations and convenience are the win points here.

If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic.

We had some speed issues while taking the screenshots, for which I got in touch with the support team. I think that this will be looked upon now.

We have been using LambdaTest for seven months.

It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy.

Using LambdaTest automation has allowed us to run all of our functionality tests suits across multiple browsers and OS.

It has helped us identify UI misalignment specific to browsers or functionality failure due to incompatibility with a particular browser.

The good part is that you can automate screenshots and get insights into where and which browser your website’s UI is going off. Then, we can use the live feature to identify and debug the compatibility issue.

We strongly believe customer experience is the key and that could impede your product growth. With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does.

This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!

You can select browsers, OS, country, and start testing instantly.

Further, it offers integration with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitLab, which makes our cycle easier.                                                                            

For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there. The tech support guys say it would be there in a few months, but let's see.

Mobile application testing would be helpful for us. We have been asking the support team for this feature but it's yet to be implemented.

We would also like to see more devices for screenshot testing.

There is a latency in a single test when compared to a local machine. Maybe because of the cloud? So, you have to run in parallel to cut down on testing times.

We have been using LambdaTest for eight months.

As said, we perform multiple tests for browser coverage, so we have scaled up our testing pipeline and are now running multiple tests in parallel. This scaling up was way too easy. No more adding VMs for testing locally.

The implementation was done by our in-house team. However, the support team from LambdaTest was very helpful to begin the process.

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.

It would be useful if LambdaTest had a library of code that first-time developers could copy and paste. In the next release, Lambda should add integration with Cucumber.

I used LambdaTest for three to four months.

If the code is done properly, then LambdaTest rarely requires maintenance.

The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues.

LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical issues.

The initial setup is straightforward.

LambdaTest is paid per execution.

It's useful to learn some best practices for Lambda - if you have thousands of instances in an IoT ecosystem, you need a framework and governance to keep track of where the code is and what's what. I would rate LambdaTest as nine out of ten.

Having a global user base, we have active traffic from varied locations and testing on multiple platforms and browsers is a continuous process for the team. Our automated tests for web browsers on the latest versions and mobile browsers, including Android and iOS, required a larger farm of VMs to function smoothly.

LambdaTest helped us with solving this issue, allowing us to run our automated tests on a much larger VM farm.

LambdaTest has made our testing process less tedious with automated parallel testing. Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours.

Parallel testing has helped us with faster feedback loops to scale up our go to market efforts.

We also use Azure Pipelines for CI/CD and the LambdaTest extension for Azure has helped us achieve a seamless testing experience for our privately hosted projects. Thanks to that, we are now able to easily ensure browser compatibility for all changes before we move them to Prod. Kudos to the team!

The feature that stands out for us is geolocation testing, where all you need to do is run the capabilities and test the website for the desired location.

I also use the LambdaTest Automation insights frequently to analyze trends of the pass/fail rate of our tests, which helps me analyze the suites that are prone to failure and what can be done to eliminate it.

The tool allows me to filter data up to a year and for different test types and users (if that's in your plan), which I found interesting and productive to analyze.

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. It would be a good package for Lambdatest!

We have been using LambdaTest for eight months.

We did not use another similar testing solution prior to LambdaTest.

We evaluated Sauce Labs and CrossBrowserTesting.
