As long as you have the right scenarios in mind where you can use AWS Device Farm, you will be very happy. It's a cloud platform for testing automation support, where you can use real devices in multiple configs to validate your Android or iOS use cases. It does easily integrate with your CI pipeline, but reporting and UI are not perfect. A pain point is also the JUnit4 implementation, which could be more mature.

CrossBrowserTesting is a great tool to use when you have a new page or new content that you want to test on an array of devices/browsers. In the diverse online world nowadays, it is nearly impossible to ensure optimization for every case. CBT allows you to get closer to that goal.

  • Test case support is somewhat limited in customization ability.
  • Not a unique problem to them (or their 'fault'), but content behind VPN or intranet cannot be scanned.
  • Pricing with tier level and features can sometimes be confusing (ie. what is and what is not included).

Support Rating
We had the enterprise support with AWS, so overall support experience was good with great engineers on the back providing answers. As you may know, overall AWS support is different and this is not different. Responses through the regular web support channel came easily, fast and accurate. We had questions/issues which were solved fast. Documentation is good as well, especially around the test automation pieces.

Alternatives Considered
We haven't used anything like AWS Device Farm before. I am familiar with Amazon Web Services and when we had our MVP ready to test, we turned to AWS for a solution. AWS Device Farm was exactly what we were looking for as we have a really small team and limit resources.

Selenium: 1. Selenium is Open source tool 2. Needs proper framework development and integration with multiple 3rd party tools 3. Not much secure 4. Needs scripting knowledge for people working on it 5. takes time and effort CrossBrowser Testing: 1. Licensed , so secure 2. Less time , less effort 3. Quick results 4. No scripting language knowledge needed 5. More coverage 6. Without any framework creation also we can test on multiple devices/browsers
