Device compatibility challenges
“First of all device testing was nearly impossible as buying each device and maintaining it cost a lot and it was too time-consuming to switch different devices as having a bigger team device quantity felt less as everyone wanted to test their respective task and there comes BrowserStack who came up with multiple users and with bunch of devices virtually.”
Cost of real devices
“We were using physical device which was very costly to procure and maintain. We had to invest every time new devices get released in the market for Accessibility testing and for each project cost for procuring was high and unmanageable.”
