LambdaTest Overview
LambdaTest is a highly scalable and versatile cloud-based platform that provides a comprehensive range of website and web app testing solutions on cloud infrastructure. With LambdaTest, you can easily ensure that all your web app elements, including JavaScript, CSS, HTML5, video, etc., are rendered seamlessly across every desktop and mobile web browser, with support for manual, visual, and automated testing.
You can access up to 2000+ combinations of desktop and mobile browsers on the cloud with LambdaTest. Additionally, LambdaTest offers a developer-oriented tool called LT Browser that enables you to evaluate the responsiveness of your website. With over 25+ devices to choose from, interactive dev tools, and scroll sync, LT Browser has made mobile website testing much more convenient. You can even create your own custom devices and test localhost URLs without extensions or tunnels.
Our Selenium Grid is compatible with every test automation framework for various programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, C#, Ruby, PHP, and Python, which offer Selenium bindings. We help you automate your testing workflows for both desktop and mobile-web automation.
With LambdaTest, you can execute parallel test sessions simultaneously to significantly reduce your test cycles and increase your product delivery efficiency. We provide you with a one-click bug logging feature that enables you to log a bug directly from the LambdaTest platform to various bug management tools such as Jira, Asana, Trello, Github, Paymo, TeamWork, Mantis, Hive, and many more with just a single click.
LambdaTest Features
LambdaTest offers a variety of features to make website testing easier and more efficient. Here are some of the most notable ones:
- Switch Monitor Size
With LambdaTest, you can choose your monitor size to ensure that the viewport remains consistent across different screen sizes. This feature is designed to eliminate any discrepancies in checking responsiveness on different screen sizes. Additionally, with LT Browser, you can check the mobile view of the website on 50+ devices, making it easier to test for responsiveness. You can even create custom devices to test on a viewport of your choice, with different device sizes and resolutions to choose from.
- Test Locally Hosted Website
LambdaTest enables you to test your local or private hosted website easily by using a tunnel to connect your machines to our cloud servers with a secure shell hosting (SSH) based integration tunnel. Using our tunnels, you can easily validate your website with responsive testing across 56+ mobile devices and test on these different mobile devices for responsiveness. You can use the command line or our Underpass desktop application to configure the tunnel without using the command line.
- Switch To Real-Time On The Same Configuration
With this feature, you can easily switch to live testing sessions on the same configuration, saving you time while easily switching from responsive testing to real-time cross-browser testing.
- Mark Bugs With Single Click
With LambdaTest's "Mark as bug" feature, you can easily capture any UI deviation on your website and share it directly with your team. You can even highlight any UI deviation by using different shapes, text, and crayons in different colors.
- Enable Smart Scroll
The smart scroll feature makes it easier to scroll through pages that have multiple iframes with scrolls. This feature ignores any scroll in the iframe, so you don't have to spend eternity scrolling down the page.
- Basic Authentication For Password Protected Websites
LambdaTest's "Basic Authentication" feature enables you to enter your login details and run website responsive tests on your password-protected website or web applications.
- Debug Your Website
With LT Browser's new add-in functionality, you can easily debug your mobile website using the inbuilt chrome dev tools. You can test a website on different devices in side-by-side view and debug using separate dev tools for both the devices simultaneously.
- How to Create Projects
You can create different projects and their different versions with LambdaTest. These projects can also be viewed in the project tab to keep track of your website responsive tests.
- How To View The Website On Landscape Mode
You can test your website on both landscape and portrait mode with LambdaTest by clicking on the rotate button.
