Senior Manager of Quality Engineering
We use BrowserStack heavily for cross-browser and mobile test automation. Our tests are now super solid—they catch anything and everything.

Senior Manager, OLX
We cannot afford having bugs in production. That’s why we avoid rollbacks. We try to identify the bug before we release.
Martin Schneider
Delivery Manager, Carousell
Before BrowserStack, it took eight test engineers a whole day to test. Now it takes an hour. We can release daily if we wanted to.
