BrowserStack vs Sauce Labs vs Selenium: What are the differences?
Browserstack is a highly rated tool because of support for IF FF safari, Chrome and Opera comes up with additional web development. It allows screenshots from various platforms for comparisons, quickly test websites for local development, and offers free JS unit tests for open source project. Can help run concurrent projects in parallel, enable integration with the CI services. Sauce labs is the provider of the largest automated cloud for running Selenium and Appium tests. It offers support for Linux platforms along with temporary storage to speed up tests for native mobile apps. Also, they offer free minutes for manual testing at paid tariff plans but is sometimes slow with less effective support. Selenium Helps perform automation testing and is an excellent open source tool. Used for web applications, can be used for authoring tests without the need to learn scripting language Selenium IDE and test-domain Selenese to write tests. With broad community support, there are recent and regular repository developments that support distributed testing.
I am looking to purchase one of these tools for Mobile testing for my team. It should support Native, hybrid, and responsive app testing. It should also feature debugging, parallel execution, automation testing/easy integration with automation testing tools like Selenium, and the capability to provide availability of devices specifically for us to use at any time with good speed of performing all these activities.
I have already used Perfecto mobile, and Sauce Labs in my other projects before. I want to know how different or better is AWS Device farm in usage and how advantageous it would be for us to use it over other mentioned tools
BitBar's Dedicated Devices would be a great option for you. It allows you to dedicate (reserve) devices for your use only which also having access to all of the devices in the shared cloud. BitBar has the features and integrations that you are looking for as well.
Stability - Just works. Availability - More than 15 datacenters. Enterprise features like SSO, local testing and SOC2/GDPR compliant.
