LT Browser

LT Browser is a desktop app that helps test and evaluate different web resources. In its primary form, it is targeted as a mobile/tablet testing tool. The most amazing thing is that it integrates into a wider spectrum of testing services and products offered by LambdaTest. It is meant for single users and all testing data that is gathered from each person is synchronized in the browser app manager that generates granular reports and gives access to many more options.

LT Browser has a lot of advantages that make it a good choice for testing purposes. Firstly, it offers a great GUI and good tools for providing accurate, well-documented research results. It has templates for the most popular smartphones and tablets (and their resolutions) and can add custom devices — meaning you could create a custom desktop-size screen to parallel test the same website on two different simulated devices. 

Secondly, the tool has scroll sync, meaning you can choose to navigate from whatever testing device you wish to, and the other one will mirror the actions. It is quite simple to follow the process and does not require pre-existing knowledge. You can choose which device screen you want the session recorded from, take print screens and edit the pictures with desired annotations, and even access the web developer’s console, straight from the app to check the elements you are looking at.

At a wider level, the individual app is meant for separate testing and it is synchronized to a web platform that receives data from each of those who test through their single apps. The system offered by LambdaTest is really well structured and is meant for integration, synchronization, and ultimately automation. On its end, each testing app can communicate feedback super efficiently due to native integrations with Asana, JIRA, Slack, Trello, GitHub, etc.

The web manager offers much more advanced possibilities like cross-browser testing, integrated debugging, geolocation testing, etc. When it comes to its connection to LT Browser, it has plenty of extra information to offer like logs of each test (depending on what computer they were conducted, by whom, where, etc.), automation tests and analytics, and even a labeling system for creating categories based on the type of issues you find upon testing (similar to Jira’s): bug, task, assignee, priority, etc.

To summarize, LT Browser is an app for single-use and has great capabilities that make it a desirable tool. The LambdaTest company has created a testing system that assumes multiple testing apps would be needed and offers a web platform that coordinates and stores the data coming from each desktop app. Both the app and the online manager are smoothly integrated and are optimal for testing purposes because they offer high levels of customization and automation.
