It's my first time testing a web app for cross-browser. Last week, it took a week to test cross browser on real devices. We started this week & took just 10 mins. Pretty cool stuff. Best part, can connect my local server to cloud via tunnel, on the go.

Mobile Automotive tests work great with Lambda. I love it. It works great. When I have a problem I can chat with a Lambda Engineer at all times. Their customer service is really fast and helpful. Best of all it was cheaper and it works better then the reset of competition...

Sahil Sharma

In my series on mobile test automation cloud infrastructure vendors, I'm turning the spotlight on LambdaTest. Overall, I am quite impressed with what LambdaTest has to offer...

I found LambdaTest very helpful. You can test on Mac or iPad if you have no such devices.
And it costs not so much as alternative services. You can even work with your local sites through the tunnel at the development stage. Support working very good, great team!

Easy to use tool for an affordable price. LambdaTest makes it easy to test your website or app on different browsers, devices and operating systems. It just works and makes this very easy to do. The pricing is affordable. We only use it once in a while and it doesn't hurt too much in the bank....
