"We switched to browserstack for automation testing from in house cypress"
What do you like best about BrowserStack?
It is a bit easier to test on different devices than with chrome devtool emulation. We have bot detection so that when testing with incognito windows in chrome, the site would often be blocked. since browserstack uses real devices, this isn't an issue. We also run automation tests with browserstack, and these are a lot less flakey than when using cypress earlier. When integration tests were failing, the video replay was really helpful in letting us debug why the test failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about BrowserStack?
The use cases are a bit small for my dev flow. Chrome devtools often can do the job since we mainly rely on user agents for detecting device capabilities and rendering device specific experiences. This is easily set in chrome. Browerstack is good for app testing but as a web engineer, its rarely used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
