Why choose BrowserStack

Why choose BrowserStack

The world's leading software testing platform trusted by over 50,000 customers

BrowserStack is the de facto standard for testing, powering over 1 billion tests every year across 19 global data centers. BrowserStack provides developers instant access to a cloud platform that allows them to comprehensively test their websites and mobile applications on 20,000+ real devices, replacing the need for teams to own and manage an in-house test infrastructure. Over six million developers across the globe rely on BrowserStack. The developer mindshare that we have is 3 times that of our peer group combined. We have over 50,000 customers cutting across all industries and regions.

BrowserStack has several deep technical differentiators that have helped make this happen.

Elastic Cloud: We are the only provider to offer a pure elastic cloud infrastructure for Cross Device and Cross Browser testing. This provides instant access to any browser or device for our customers at scale. Our peer group provides private solutions which dramatically reduces the ability of a customer to scale up and down.

Fragmentation: We support over 3000 combinations of Browsers, devices, OS, and their versions. We offer ~20,000 real devices. This scale is far higher than any other provider. We operate in a far larger digital canvas. We offer the devices immediately on demand vs. a 4-6 week procurement cycle for our peer group. We support minor OS versions.

Scale and Security: Our solution is proven out by large-scale customers across sectors - Amazon, Paypal, Stripe, Wells Fargo, Barclays and others. We have met the stringent security requirements of customers across key verticals - technology, media, financial services. We are the only provider that has done so in an elastic cloud setting. We also provide over 19 Data centres across locations in the US, EU and APAC which handle GDPR, regulatory and other localisation needs.

Real Devices: We offer our solutions only on Real Devices - this provides for real-world testing standards and updates. Our peer group provides a model across emulators/ simulators and a mix of devices - this does not provide consistency in testing results that enterprise-grade customers look at.

Full Automation and DevOps: Our solutions help reach full test maturity with parallelization; we can do both full cleanup and incremental cleanup as the automation runs go on. For our peer group with private solutions, this is much harder to achieve - lack of cleans becomes a challenge. We offer factory cleanup for devices after every session.

Network and Latency: We offer sophisticated technology that allows for local network access. This is a highly secure solution that has met the stringent criteria of all our large enterprise customers. Our solutions for Automation and Manual testing are extremely low latency - we have figured out the right data center to run the tests on and our journeys around interaction, and streaming are best in class.
