### "Best testing tools for testers"

July 18, 2022

5.0

If you're a QA, automation engineer, or developer looking to run automated tests on your site, HeadSpin is the right solution for you. I have tried a few other tools and by far this one is the most user-friendly, reliable and quick of all. Literally, in two clicks, you can go from signing up to running your first test!

Pros

Using Headspin has been a great way to reduce the amount of time it takes to test across various browsers and platforms. I can run tests on 5-10 browsers simultaneously, which saves me a lot of time because I don't have to toggle windows between each browser.

Cons

I think HeadSpin is a very solid product. I haven't encountered any problems with it in my testing and everything worked smoothly.

### "HeadSpin Cross Browser Testing tool is a must."

July 14, 2022

5.0

We have been using Headspin for a while now and we are very happy with it. We have found the service to be very helpful in solving cross-browser-related issues. We can test our projects locally and do not have to worry about sending them to remote servers. The service is also very easy to use!

Pros

We have been using HeadSpin for a while now, and we're pleased with their services. Their customer support is available 24x7 and they have helped us many times with any issues or questions we had. They are always up to date with the latest version of browsers, which is something we highly value. They have a wide selection of browsers and operating systems, which makes it easy for us to identify tthe issue on our websiteand solve it in no time.

Cons

No, there's nothing to complain about. Small issues you can always find in any tool.

Great experience and great functionality for us to be able to offer it to our customers.

Pros

It's super friendly user and it gives you all the visibility that you might need to see how your apps and websited are performing and if your user experience is beeing negatively impacted

Cons

It is only in English, no other languages can be used. So if your team does not speak English, it might be an inconvenience.

### "Great place for anyone looking to look how to use Appium"

August 24, 2021

5.0

Our group was looking to research, then implement, automated testing for the mobile product we develop. This site is still helping us transition from all manual testing to automation. It provided a very easy and took a very intimidating subject and broke it down to sections and pieces that are easy to understand and move forward with. Not just that, but now I also got to look around and the different programs and languages available to use with Appium and that helps decide which we end up using.

Pros

Regardless of what you use Appium with, there's something here for you. This is how I'm learning to programmatically control our testing, something new to me and to our company.

Cons

I'm not sure that there is anything missing from HeadSpin. There are more courses than I can use, the ones I do use are clear, easy to follow, and I get to practice on our actual devices. I never had cause to use support, so there's nothing I can say about that either. Great work, keep it up!

### "Solution for Simulating iOS Device"

August 19, 2021

5.0

Pros

I needed to simulate an iOS device. Didn't want to use my personal phone. Made it easy to uncover a bug while not having to leave my browser or even reach for my pocket.

Cons

Pricing, if I only need to test a few scenarios a month, I wish there was a more affordable plan than $30 per month. Even if the time I could use on an iOS device was quite lmited.

### "Overall a Good Device Farm"

August 19, 2021

4.0

Of the device farms I used, Amazon and Samsung, HeadSpin is the best choice. It allows me to run test scrips that require SMS which is a no no on Samsung devices.

Pros

It is easy to install apps on the HeadSpin devices and run Appium test. Test scripts run fast on both iOS and Android. The interface is easy to understand. The recording of the test run is easy to understand and gives detail information on which step of the test script were executed.

Cons

There is sometimes an issue with the device becoming available after stopping a test script before it is complete. After the test scripts execute completely, the device becomes available for all to use. It would be nice for me to 'checkout' the device for my entire session.

### "XCUITest"

August 19, 2021

5.0

Pros

I was able to find a unique course for XCUITest that I didn't see anywhere else.

Cons

1) I waited for about 2 months when XCUITest will be available. The course was with a note as Coming Soon. After 2 months I used the option to ask questions about this course and got a reply after one week. I got the option to be a beta tester for this course, which gave me immediate access to the course. 2) The last module of the same course was with the same note as Coming Soon. Now I am waiting for another ~2 months last module to be open. The last module has important information such as run XCUITests on real devices or integration with Jenkins.
