BrowserStack is a cloud web and mobile testing platform that enables developers to test their websites across different browsers and phone devices in one single platform.By the help this one platform, the testers get a great advantage of testing which saves cost and time both.Where as without this tool, they need to use real life devices which might cut a huge cost of buying.Also multiple types of testing can be done at just one click which also helps to save time.

In the above picture, it can be seen that, while testing, the tester can select any browser from the browser lists and device lists whichever the requirement is. After selecting a device, we can see an interface like this:

Here, we can test the softwares or applications exactly how we can test in real devices.

Basically, the main purpose of using BS is to check the applications running under various systems and operating systems without any hindrance and disturbances.

In most cases the developers need to keep in mind that the software they build are compatible enough so that they run in all kinds of view ports of devices. Mostly the client requirements mainly say that they want the desired software to run smoothly at the same time in different laptops,phones and tablets. Sometimes, very high budget projects don't get deployed or see errors while running live only because they haven’t been tested compitably. Also , design issues come back from the live sessions too.For these reasons it is highly important to use browser stack while testing and help the softwares run smoothly.

Why is BrowserStack used?

Ans: BrowserStack is a cloud and mobile testing platform that provides the developers to test their websites and mobile applications across on demand browsers, operating systems and browsers.It helps to compare and analyze behavior of websites across different websites and also different environments.It makes sure that all the applications are working independently on every browsers.Also it has a cool feature of throttling the network which helps the testers find issues by changing the network speed according to requirement.

Benefits of BrowserStack:

• Reduced testing time and cost- With the help of this browsing tool, the testers don’t need to do the manual QA with real life devices, they can test the applications simultaneously across different browsers.

• Improved accuracy- This tool actually helps the users to test precisely with pixel perfect confidence across different view

ports.

• Localization Testing- BrowserStack has improved localization testing by allowing the users testing the websites across

different locations by changing the location on the tool, language and time.

• A very User friendly interface- It can be said that browserStack has one of the smoothest interfaces.It helps the users to work in a very smooth environment without creating and hazard in the testing.Just with the help of one click your testing execution starts.

• Integration with selenium and Appium- It provides a very end to end testing experience by integrating selenium and appium and helps to automate the testing procedure.Automation has taken one of the vast major places in tech now so by making the automation easy BrowserStack has provided a very good opportunity for us.

From the above, we can see that BrowserStack has become one of the best testing hands of QA’s. It should be more used and everywhere across the globe and help to improve the user experience.
