About BrowserStack
BrowserStack is the leading test platform built for developers & QAs to expand test coverage, scale & optimize testing.
Wide Range of Devices available for every category like Android, IOS & Windows Platform. Has a number of integrations.
I don't like that it can get quite a bit costly very quickly. Also if you want to be able to test faster, it's going to get expensive fast.

Large matrix of OS and browsers to do testing and regression testing on
Pros:
Large matrix of operating systems and browsers (all different versions, too) that can be used manually or automated for testing and regression testing.
Cons:
Slightly complicated UI to setup your tests. Once your tests are setup, they are run automatically - and that works great.

Pros:
Ease of Access to multiple devices at the same time.

BrowserStack, your guaranteed path to ROI
Comments: Using BrowserStack has been a game changer for the many teams that I've led in different organizations who chose to subscribe, it provides guaranteed ROI and great bang for the buck, in addition to all the amazing technical features that allowed all my teams to use it effectively and efficiently. And of course to me personally as an open-source contributor, being able to test my open source project against any device or OS I can think of has been a great help to identifying and fixing issues as fast as possible. Especially after integrating BrowserStack in my GitHub Actions pipelines.
Pros:
The variety of devices, ease of use, API integration, and the openness of the support team to share any needed information.
Cons:
Honestly, there's nothing I don't like about BrowserStack.
Alternatives Considered:
Great for quick access to multiple platforms for the team
Comments: It's great to be able to quickly get up an running with testing our code on whichever platform we need.
Pros:
It's very easy to invite team members to the account to allow us to keep the flow of development and testing going in various browsers in both macOS and Windows.
Cons:
We have 5 licenses, however 1 is always reserved for the account holder and 1 is always reserved for the admin. These 2 people rarely use this, so we really only have 3 usable licenses to share.

Comments: My overall experience with BrowserStack has been highly positive, especially as a developer focused on ensuring seamless real-time device testing. BrowserStack has been instrumental in helping us identify and resolve potential cross-device issues before they reach our clients. The platform provides access to a wide range of real devices and browsers, allowing us to thoroughly test our applications and websites across different environments. This has significantly reduced the likelihood of our clients encountering any compatibility issues, enhancing the quality and reliability of the products we deliver.

What I like most is the ability to test on real devices and browsers, ensuring compatibility across multiple environments. The ease of integration with various development tools and the speed at which tests can be executed are also significant advantages. Additionally, the platform's intuitive interface and extensive documentation make it user-friendly and accessible for teams of all sizes.

The features are robust and flexible, allowing me to customize and tailor it to my specific needs. I've seen a huge array of products that they have introduced which are innovative and solve most of our testing problems all with a single license! I highly recommend BrowserStack to anyone looking to solve a bunch of end-to-end testing problems on cross-browser & devices. It's a valuable addition to my toolkit and I look forward to exploring its full potential!

Browserstack real devce testing results
Comments: Overall, my experience with BrowserStack has been very positive. Access to a variety of real devices has greatly improved my testing workflow, ensuring my applications work smoothly across different platforms. The setup was straightforward, and the support team has been responsive to my questions
Pros:
What I liked most about BrowserStack is the ability to test on actual devices. The wide range of devices and browsers they offer ensures that I can catch issues that might only appear on specific setups. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and run tests. Additionally, the performance is reliable, with minimal lag even when testing on high-demand devices.
Cons:
The least favorable aspect of BrowserStack for me is the cost. It can get quite expensive, especially for small teams or individual developers. Also, sometimes the devices take a bit longer to become available during peak times, which can slow down the testing process.
Excellent tool for manual browser testing
Comments: Positive; it helps my team to avoid mistakes and generally verify the high quality of our websites across devices.
Pros:
Working as a developer at a large retailer, I use Browserstack almost daily to test our website changes (internal and external) across a wide range of devices. Browserstack is particularly useful compared to competitors because it has the widest range of actual devices (physical, not emulators), including many older devices.
Cons:
Dev tools occasionally act strangely on iOS devices, cutting off elements in the Elements panel for example.
Must know tool for testing
Comments: Overall its a very helpful device for doing sanity QA or to check version specific issues as multiple versions can be checked at one place. Also it reduce dependability on actual device it its not available then also we can continue with our task and submit it as per timeline one tool can be used for multiple things that's the best as mentioned above
Pros:
easy to understand, easy to use , many helpful features are present which make tester's life easy
Cons:
- It goes into non-responsive mode while using change location feature - Most recent versions for devices are not present for IOS as well as android
Director of Web Development
Comments: Overall I love the product and couldn't do what I do without it.
Pros:
BrowserStack is the go-to troubleshooting resource for web developers who work with users directly. I love the versatility, the ability to see every device, every browser, and all the options.
Cons:
Sometimes the user experience, switching between devices and browsers is a bit of a pain, but that's about it.
A Comprehensive Cross-Browser and Mobile Testing Platform
Comments: Overall, BrowserStack is widely regarded as a robust and efficient platform for cross-browser and mobile testing.
Pros:
Extensive Browser and Device Coverage Real Devices Live Testing Integrations
Great tool for any QA job
Comments: Overall, BrowserStack has been a great tool for QA at my current job and I have used it consistently over the last 5+ years. I can't imagine going back to not using it, now that it has become such an integral part of my day-to-day work.
Pros:
I like how it is all web-based and quickly connects to additional devices/browsers in order to test applications and web pages. It's very nice being able to officially support devices and browsers that you normally wouldn't have easy access to obtain or test against.
Cons:
Some of the paid products have steep pricing models. There are also times where devices will just get stuck on a loading screen and don't officially boot-up which can get a little annoying when you are just wanting to quickly test something.
A must-have tool for web-based companies / jobs.
Comments: The overall experience with BrowserStack is great. It's a really helpful tool to investigate when users submit bug reports that we couldn't detect on our testing / development environment. We're also starting to add Percy to our pipeline in order to test for visual regressions.
Pros:
Huge selection of devices and browser/operating system combination makes it essential to properly investigate on bugs that you couldn't test or find out on your development environment.
Cons:
Sometimes the initial connection to the devices navigation is a bit slow or needs a refresh but given the nature of the service it's acceptable.
Testing on multiple mobiles made easy
Comments: This tool is essential for a frontend developer and tester. You can have a peace of mind that your pages display correctly on every popular device out there.
Pros:
Cross browser testing and debugging is quick, with easy to use interface. They provide real mobile and desktop browser combinations, including the newest iPhone and Android smartphones. Whatever device/browser your customers are using, they've got it. And eve though the device reaction time is not instant, you are viewing real device which is always better than even the best emulator.
Cons:
Local Testing using BrowserStack's provided binary sometimes didn't connect.
Why BrowserStack Became My Go-To Testing Tool
Comments: Pretty smooth experience , would like to explore more products as well
Pros:
Increasing our device coverage as there are a lot of devices available which are mostly used by our customers , so we don't have to buy physical devices for our team anymore

The platform’s interface is generally user-friendly, and it supports a wide range of browsers and operating systems, which is great for ensuring compatibility across different environments.
Pros:
BrowserStack is a really handy tool for testing websites and apps across different devices and browsers. What I like most about it is its ability to provide real-time testing on actual devices rather than emulators. This can give you a much more accurate picture of how your site or app will perform in the wild. Plus, the ease of access to a wide range of devices and configurations can really streamline the development process and help catch issues early. Have you used BrowserStack yourself, or are you considering it for a project
Cons:
One area where BrowserStack might have room for improvement is in the performance of its live testing feature. Sometimes, users report that the interaction can feel a bit laggy or slow, especially when dealing with high-traffic sites or complex application
