LambdaTest Reviews

Summary: Being an IT outsourcing company for web development, Selenium testing became a routine exercise for us before we delivered our projects to clients. LambdaTest affordable pricing immediately caught our attention. However, we were initially hesitant if it would be as good as its competitors. We are glad they lived up to our expectation and even better. Especially their 24/7 customer chat support which helped us deliver our projects on time.
We highly recommend every developer & tester to give LambdaTest a shot. To us, it is the best tool as of now.

Positive: Live browser testing
Responsive testing
Cloud Selenium Grid of 2000+ browsers
3rd party tool integrations,
Complimentary access to LT browser.

Negative: For mobile testing they offer emulators and simulators instead of real devices but they are planning to bring real mobile devices soon so we are excited for that.

Summary: LambdaTest in our opinion is one tool that has simplified the complex process of cross browser testing.
In just a few clicks we were able to test our website on 100+ combinations of browsers & OS out of the 2000+ options. They have made the product so simple that it can be used any anyone.
Recently we have subscribed to their automation plan with the help of which we are automating our entire web testing process, piece of advice (Automation plan is strictly for people who know selenium).
To us, they are the most simple and straight forward tool.

Positive: Amazing customer support
Informative dashboard
Great Documentation
Wide range of integrations available
2000+ browsers to test on

Negative: Just a feedback, like manual testing they should come up with a way to make automated testing easy for non tech users as well.

Summary: When we planned to test our website for browser compatibility, we used many tools but among all the tools, we found LambdaTest most suitable because of its faster speed and low cost. The platform allowed us to test our website on a combination of 2000+ real desktop and mobile browsers. All you need to do is select a browser and its version, operating system, and screen size that you want to test the website on.
LambdaTest also offers an amazing selenium grid which really helped us to cut our test execution time to half by performing tests in parallel, which was really cool.

Positive: Neat and clean UI with all the necessary features.
Allows users to run multiple tests in parallel.
Wide range of integration available.

Negative: Not able to save passwords on their browser.
They do not allow us to install anything.
Without login, I cannot perform tests.

Summary: From our side, LambdaTest is a highly recommended automated cross-browser testing tool. We never find any challenge in using this.

Positive: Initially, I was using multiple free tools to perform geolocation testing, but after using it for some days, we realized that LambdaTest is faster and cheaper than others. Now, we are using a yearly subscription and happy to use it.

Negative: We are using LambdaTest for more than 8 months and did not find anything that we can complain about.

Summary: My overall experience is very good. Whenever we need any guidance, we get help from their support team.

Positive: By using geolocation testing feature, I can check my website from different locations. I can check how my website is behaving in different countries.

Negative: We are using LambdaTest from the last 2 years, it is working smoothly.

Summary: In our team, we all are happy with the features of LambdaTest. They always keep us informed whenever there is an update in the product.

Positive: Initially we started using multiple tools but we stuck on LambdaTest because of its pocket friendliness and faster speed.

Negative: We have been using LambdaTest for last 2 years but still did not find anything that I can write here.

Summary: Since we have used LambdaTest, each application that we have developed works better than the previous one, we have been able to hit the target with the errors in the operation, being able to find accurate solutions efficiently, without having to guess what it is. Likewise, the developer team has been able to automate various functions, completely limiting manual and slow work, now everything is much more efficient, Lambdatest has significantly helped us to make the work easier and more practical, although at the same time we do everything optimally. The tests of the applications are carried out without inconveniences, it is possible to evaluate their execution, in addition to the integrations it has that contribute to doing things more with less complexity and this is one of the things in which we participate the most with Lambdatest, the which is to unify the work and find the solutions we need with the integration of the appropriate platforms for this. It has helped us to take millions of steps forward without much effort and to properly implement a quality and error-free application for all our clients, where they can obtain the benefits of our services with an unprecedented user experience. Without a doubt, we achieved all this thanks to LambdaTest.

Positive: LambdaTest brings with it solutions for testing our application in different clients, in a simple way, thus relieving the work of developers. It offers solutions through the SSH Tunnel functionality, in addition to an optimal integration with Trello that allowed us to organize our work management and unify functions. We adapt much better to Lambdatest than to other platforms because they are easier to use and even cheaper. It automates functions that previously developers had to do manually, which was a huge job to discover errors or why the operation is not correct, with this platform it is possible to analyze what may be coming out more or do tests where you want and evaluate the application in detail so that everything works solidly. It also has a solution that no one else offers, which is a full-page clipping, with this we have been able to visualize the errors more clearly and we have been able to find accurate solutions to the problems, together with this we have adapted our application to various clients and now it works more smoothly.

Negative: It has been difficult to manage some web drivers, as well as to correctly adapt our tests in the Safari browser, we have tried to do it on certain occasions, and we could not get it to run properly. The platform can have a little delay, it becomes slow, and it is tedious to work in this way, running the tests with the slowness of the platform becomes complicated, finding a more fluid platform would give us a greater scope for our tests. Having mobile application tests would be useful for our development, since we adapt quite well in the LambdaTest function and being able to adapt it to mobile application development would be a plus for our work.

Summary: While we develop our web applications, our top concern was to verify the unintentional changes to the application's visuals. We need to make sure that changing one component doesn't break the styling of another component. LambdaTest's Smart testing helped us to identify visual regression bugs for every new build.

We could capture our website screenshots belonging to different environments i.e stage and production & upload them on the LambdaTest Visual Testing platform. We were able to discover visual deviations with pixel to pixel comparison by capturing screenshots, comparing them against the baseline image, and highlighting visual changes. The slider mode is very helpful to compare the visual discrepancies between the two images by toggling them. Overall, Smart testing helped us perform reliable visual testing at scale and eliminated the risk of delivering visual bugs.

Positive: - Extensive catalogue of 2000+ real browsers and operating systems.
- Provides amazing tools for responsive testing LambdaTest LT Browser for Mobile responsive testing across 50+ pre-built viewports.
- Selenium Automation Testing on cloud grid for desktop & mobile browsers.

Negative: Would be great to add more devices for Responsive testing!

Summary: Using LambdaTest we could run all our functionality tests across various browsers, OS, and resolutions. We have a significantly large user base with some users accessing the product through browsers like Internet Explorer. LambdaTest was a big help to test over those rare combinations of browsers and OS. In addition the Lambdatest helped us find minute UI misalignments and browser compatibility issues faster. Especially test automation helped us bring down the time, effort, and cost of our deployment. Thanks to the support team for being available 24*7, and solving rare hiccups, then and there.

Positive: - Availability of legacy browsers and OS
- Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of Browsers, OS and Country.
- Scalability of the testing process helped us deploy faster
- Free access to LT Browser to perform responsive testing
- Integrations with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and CircleCI discounted a lot of operational load.

Negative: Lambdatest needs to get native application testing, which would be a great help to my team.. We have requested the support team for this feature but it's yet to be implemented. Would also like to see more devices for screenshot testing.

Summary: Running tests serially can be a good option when your product is at an early stage. But 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 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 using LambdaTest we could run multiple tests on multiple VM’s, saving us hours of testing time and maintenance cost of local infrastructure.

Personally, one thing 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.

Positive: - Easily integrates with leading tools like JIRA, Asana, Jenkins, CircleCI
- Documentations adds a good support to get started
- Local testing is faster with CircleCI Orb
- Extensive range of browsers and devices to test on

Negative: - Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, where as the LT browser is much better to use
- Had few slugs in the early stage of implementation while running parallel tests, however the support team was helpful to resolve it.

Summary: Optimizing our pre-prod testing process was the need of an hour for my team. We required a solution that would help us be consistent with testing in each sprint. Using LambdaTest, we could run local tests for our web-application on varied combinations of browsers and platforms through virtual machines hosted on cloud. Underpass app was a great help here to launch tunnel connection in no time without any command line calls. With LambdaTest, we are able to deliver a browser compatible experience to our visitors. Good to see it integrates with ClickUp, raising a bug ticket was never so easy.

Positive: -Does not burn your pocket, an affordable testing platform.
-Third party integrations with project management, CI CD tools
-Underpass to test local pages with ease.
-Offers extensions for Azure pipelines, Docker for local testing
-Capture videos, automate screenshots and share it with the team.
-Helpful and supercharged support team

Negative: -For mobile testing, Emulators are good but would be better to have some real devices too.

Summary: The industry we function (e-commerce) has a broad category of audience. We need to make sure our website is accessible to everyone irrespective of the browser / operating system they use. Of course, responsive web design check is a major bullet point over our testing checklist as well. As a B2C, it's crucial for us to stay ahead of the customers and we wanted a solution which could help us ensure our changes would work seamlessly when shipped to the Production.

LambdaTest made a great fit here when considered the latest browsers on the product, ability to test local pages along with a complimentary access to LT browser which is an absolute delight for our developers and testers. It helps us save a considerable effort on responsive testing plus the native developer tools allow us to dig deep into any UI mismatch! Also As mentioned we could achieve wider test coverage in time by running multiple combinations of browsers in parallel with LambdaTest automation suite. Our director to purchase the subscription was due to their affordable pricing for the parallel tests and the communication from the support team!

Positive: -Support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily
-Underpass app provides one click launch to test on dev environments.
-LT browser offers a comparison view with pre-set mobile devices. Plus, we can add custom devices to it.
-Location based tests helped us provide unified experience to our customers.
-Integrations with Bamboo CI was an add on benefit

Negative: - Can’t do native-app testing as they offer simulation for web testing only. However, from what I have heard they are promising to go live with it shortly.

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

LambdaTest is a saving soldier for our company by offering us thousands of browsers & platforms to test on cloud. We are able to ensure a sturdy UI without worrying about infra management. Plus points for docker extension where we could locally test on multiple instances through Lambda Tunnel using Docker. This helped us align better with our DevOps team, kept our projects on track and allowed us to implement continuous deployment with robust quality checks.

Positive: >Docker Tunnel for local testing on multiple instances parallely
>Integration with Jira & Slack
>Always up-to-date with latest browsers for both desktop and mobile
>An active support team to help out
>Custom tags for automation builds to help us filter our test builds.

Negative: Analytics could be better, as of now it gives basic information on test status and build status. It would be better if I could analyze groups of tests which are taking longer time to complete, to pin-point use cases which could lead to slowness in user journey. Also, would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing.

Summary: As a Fintech company, other than Chrome and Safari, we need to test our website regularly on IE and Edge as well, as our customers are dependent on legacy OS to use our web-application. LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility. Our automation engineers are able to execute Selenium scripts in their preferred language, the cloud infrastructure has allowed us to scale our automation test cycles effortlessly. A majority of our regression suites are now automated, thanks to LambdaTest as we are now able to find more critical bugs with less manual testing efforts.

Positive: What really helped us improve our delivery cycle was live debugging while you automate the tests. We could break the script execution at any point and take it over from there by interactive live for the remaining test steps. LambdaTest also provides video recording and screenshots of all your tests in their test logs which makes tracking easier. Offers integrations with Jira, Jenkins which ensures us better collaboration and robust CI/CD pipeline respectively, which is an additional plus for us.

Negative: The analytics over automation dashboard can be more intuitive. Good part is that we have relayed some of our suggestions to the support and as per their support team those suggestions are to be considered as a part of their upcoming sprint so we are just excited to see them onboard soon.

Summary: Have been using LambdaTest for around 1 year now, and could say that it’s a useful testing tool for our team. Offering great combinations of browsers and operating systems for you to test on and most importantly there are many types of additional logs that come with each test which helps in debugging.. Glad to see the integration with Travis CI due to which we could optimally use this tool with our CI CD pipelines directly. We were able to effectively run TestNG and Selenium tests using their documentation and as an added advantage their support team is quick and helpful.

Positive: - Detailed documentation, helps you with quick implementation.
- APIs for extracting test run data like logs and run video
- Good community to help to dig deep for possible outcomes.
- Screenshot testing feature
- Integration with Jira

Negative: 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.
