Shifting-left with comprehensive browser testing is easy with LambdaTest

What are the best aspects of this product?

LambdaTest Grid integrates with a variety of CI/CD tools. It provides a variety of browsers, OS, devices, all on cloud. Consistent with browser updates when new versions are released, they even provide beta versions of browsers. Affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions. Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from 5 hours when executed in parallel on multiple VM’s. This has been extremely helpful!

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Their smart testing module needs improvement. We also hope they could come up with some API for automated visual regression testing. One more thing would be it would be good to see if Lambdatest can get real devices to test for mobile automation. I think these features and improvements will be a robust fix to the product.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We have been using LambdaTest for almost 6 months now. Back then, we were thinking of implementing shift left testing to catch bugs ASAP. With browser testing being one of the most rigorous and time-consuming validations, we were looking for a solution that could help us achieve continuous testing through our GitLab CI/CD pipeline. That is when we landed over a webinar of LambdaTest which demonstrated setting up GitLab CI/CD and integrating it with their cloud. We thought of giving the integration a go and it worked like a charm.

We were able to leverage the Git based triggers to execute our CI/CD pipeline. So every time a new commit was pushed from our end, the pipeline ran an automated build over the LambdaTest Grid, which allowed us to ensure our UI on every major and minor release with access to numerous browsers, platforms and devices. Integrating LambdaTest in our GitLab CI/CD pipeline allowed us to deploy quality builds faster. In the new normal where companies are forced to perform remote testing due to COVID-19, a cloud based solution like LambdaTest has been a life-savour. It gives us the flexibility to run tests from anywhere at any time without being bothered about maintaining an inhouse infrastructure.
