I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive.""CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing.""I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable.""I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems.""Video recording of the script running in a cloud server."

"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!""Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration.""The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID.""Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries.""The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems.""Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues.""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."

Cons
"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.""The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.""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.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""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.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic.""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.""You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only.""I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes.""It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing.""I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them.""Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
