Google Firebase Test Lab Reviews & Product Details

Easy to scale up with appropriate backups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI could be made better. Pricing information is not very clear at the start Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's integrated right into a firebase project, if you're creating an app with firebase I'd definitely recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very limited, in the case of iOS testing you're only allowed to test using a .zip package containing a .testrunner file and the contents of the DerivedData/Build/Products directory. This is much more restrictive compared to AWS Device Farm, which has more options for how you test. Additionally it does not support Appium, though that is on the roadmap.

I like the ease of use... and the device availability - literally there are thousands of different android phone models and hundreds of manufacturers accounted for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the delay it takes from when the apk is uploaded till we get rersults. In addition to, dealing with custom UI elements and more advanced data flows. I also noticed that some devices crash when the app opens simple intents to apps such as youtube, gmail, and the play store... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Impressive Cloud-based app testing infrastructure Feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Required the proper internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how fast it can test android APK's and you can test it your apk's on the new Google Pixel! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The console, just like all Google cloud products seems to be intimidating at first. Well, it's just me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am still learning how to get the most out of the tool, but I love how easy it is to quickly test on devices I wouldn't otherwise have access to. I've mostly used it for website testing from a mobile perspective, rather than for app testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found it a little difficult to get started, but that's mostly because I misunderstood what kind of tool it actually is. Thankfully I had help with the setup, so we've overcome those initial issues now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of testing capabilities. The Robo test is a great little feature and helps us capture a lot of special cases that are the result of little subtle differences that could happen in the app. Able to let the Robo perform at its own leisure and navigate around the app doing scrolling and clicking events. We can also give it a set of instructions to follow and perform specific tasks. The videos from the tests are fantastic as we can see what happens that leads up to a crash.

While it is easy to get a project running, there is some difficulty supporting web-based authentication on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally liked the simplicity and ease of use on Firebase and their test labs. It made things easy and rewarding to go back to and edit things knowing that there isn't a learning curve or anything that would scare newcomers and keep oldies for more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't really like how closely tied into Google Cloud, the whole system was. We've had some difficulty using Google cloud before and when we saw that Firebase was coming out we had hoped that things would be different, for the most part it was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The solution it provides about analytics, push notifications, storage.

The live update whenever someone makes any changes as the database is connected real time to the back end.

SDK for all popular languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives you access to only specific parts of the app.

There is a high potential of data loss as we can accidentally delete everything while working on console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there was a lot of self help and demo products to work with, Google offers space to test in and people share a lot of learning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This does take time, if you don't do this as your primary work or you don't have the desire to do new learning. It took time and focus to follow the different parts of the project I built. You need to integrate different components to bring it all together, very doable but complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
