In a world where users access websites from thousands of combinations of devices, browsers, operating systems and screen sizes, ensuring that an application works correctly everywhere is a constant challenge. Local manual testing is no longer enough, especially for teams that need speed, accuracy and automation. This is where BrowserStack becomes essential: one of the leading cloud platforms for web and mobile testing.
Aufiero Informática, as an official reseller of testing and productivity solutions such as BrowserStack, LambdaTest, TestRail, Postman, Hotjar, Miro and other brands, supports companies and QA teams as they adopt modern and efficient workflows. This guide explains what BrowserStack is, how it works, and why it has become a key component of web development in 2025.
What Is BrowserStack?
BrowserStack is a cloud-based testing platform that allows you to test websites, web apps and mobile applications on real devices, without any local setup or infrastructure. Its main goal is to ensure that an application works properly across all major browsers and devices.
BrowserStack lets teams run:
- Cross-browser tests on hundreds of browsers and OS versions
- Responsive design tests across multiple screen sizes
- Automated tests with Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Puppeteer and more
- Mobile app tests on real Android and iOS devices
- Performance, accessibility and compatibility tests
By eliminating the need for physical device labs, it reduces costs and accelerates the development cycle.
Why BrowserStack Is Essential in 2025
As development cycles accelerate, companies need to ship stable, compatible and visually consistent products with fewer resources and tighter deadlines. BrowserStack stands out because:
1. Testing on real devices
Nothing replaces the behavior of an actual physical device. BrowserStack provides access to real mobile phones, tablets and desktops with always-updated operating systems.
2. No installations or virtual machines required
Everything runs in the cloud. Teams only need a browser to access thousands of ready-to-use testing environments.
3. Scalable automation capabilities
BrowserStack supports Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Puppeteer and more, enabling integration into CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins and Azure DevOps.
4. Full browser compatibility
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, old versions, new versions — everything is available and instantly accessible.
5. Native mobile testing
App Live and App Automate allow teams to test mobile apps on real iOS and Android devices, including gestures, camera, GPS and network simulations.
6. Early detection of issues
Automatic video recording, screenshots, logs and debugging tools make it easy to identify visual bugs, performance issues and failures before they reach production.
Key BrowserStack Features
Live Testing
Manual interactive testing on real devices and browsers, ideal for UI checks, design reviews and fast debugging.
Automate
Runs large-scale automated tests in parallel, dramatically reducing execution times.
App Live & App Automate
For testing native, hybrid or web mobile apps with real device behavior and hardware functionality.
Percy (visual testing)
Detects unintended UI changes between versions, ensuring consistent design.
Performance & accessibility audits
Built-in tools assess speed and compliance with standards such as WCAG 2.1.
How to Use BrowserStack in Your Workflow
1. Select an environment
Choose browser, OS and device directly from the dashboard.
2. Run manual or automated tests
Interact with the remote device as if it were in your hands, with full debugging tools available.
3. Integrate with CI/CD
BrowserStack offers ready-made configurations for pipelines, enabling automated testing with each commit.
4. Review results
Screenshots, videos, network logs and console errors simplify QA evaluations.
BrowserStack vs Other Tools
Although alternatives like LambdaTest (also sold by Aufiero Informática) exist, BrowserStack stands out thanks to its extensive real-device library, stability and industry maturity. It is the preferred choice for enterprises requiring high compatibility, reliability and scalability.
