   LambdaTest an essential tool for cross browser compatibility

   Initially we were skeptical whether a cloud infrastructure would be able to give us the flexibility, speed and browser coverage we need for our agile sprints. But LambdaTest has been a complete value for money to us.

   They usually get the latest browsers on-board under 2 weeks time and are never compromising the experience over legacy browsers at the same time. The machines are quick to load and we rely heavily over the Monday integration, it helps us share screenshots instantly among ourselves without having to be stuck in long email chains.

   We have been using LambdaTest for around 8 months and it has been so far so good.

   🏁 Competitors: Sauce Labs, CrossBrowserTesting

   👍 Pros:    Underpass app, very helpful for local testing on development environment|Stability is good, downtimes are notified if any|Up to date with latest browsers and os like safari 14, macos big sur|Integrations with monday, jira, and more prominent tools

   👎 Cons:    Need more devices for screenshot testing|Would love to see mobile application testing

   LambdaTest Our Go-To Platform For Selenium Testing

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

   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. The feature that stands out for us is geolocation testing, all you need to do is run the capabilities and test the website for the desired location. We use Azure Pipelines for CI/CD and LambdaTest extension for Azure has helped us get a seamless testing experience for our privately hosted projects. Thanks to that we are now able to easily ensure browser compatibility for all the changes before we move them to Prod. Kudos to the team!

   🏁 Competitors: Sauce Labs, CrossBrowserTesting

   👍 Pros:    Support team is very active|Extensions to perform testing with ci/cd tools like azure pipelines|Always up to date with latest browsers|Offers 70+ integrations, glad to see it integrates with jira|Affordable pricing option

   👎 Cons:    Cypress integration is missing|Native app testing is not available yet

   Easy, Useful and provides lots of data for debugging

   Have been using Lambdatest for around 6 months 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

   🏁 Competitors: Sauce Labs, CrossBrowserTesting

   👍 Pros:    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

   👎 Cons:    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.

• Design Pattern for Playwright End-to-End Testing

  This article introduces a design pattern for end-to-end testing using Playwright. This pattern is an extension of the Page Object Model, aimed at improving test code readability and reducing the increase in code volume when adding more test scenarios or test data variations. This pattern is adopted by SVQK. A working implementation example and its test results are available in the following repositories:. - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago
