LambdaTest Executive Interview

CEO and Co-Founder

Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?
LambdaTest is a cloud-based cross-browser compatibility testing platform that gives instant on-demand access to 2000+ different browser and operating system environments. The platform allows developers, testers, product managers, and web owners to perform live interactive testing or run selenium automation scripts on the choice of browser, browser versions, or operating system combination including both desktop and mobile browsers.

Our vision is to bring all testing related tasks to a single integrated cloud platform. As a step towards this vision, we are working on eliminating the need for developing and maintaining expensive infrastructure for testing. Now you won't have to maintain in-house device labs or worry about maintaining an expensive private cloud of virtual machines. LambdaTest platform handles this for you. This frees up developers and testers to focus on developing quality products instead of worrying about infrastructure.

As a Co-founder and CEO, my role is to amplify with the vision and scope of the product and the company so that the team continually feels excited about where the company is heading. I always take out time to analyze if we have the right people in the right places or do we need to reshuffle a bit for better results. LambdaTest endorses a culture where every effort gets duly rewarded, and I love to keep a close eye overseeing and maintaining it.
What was the idea behind starting this organization?
The aim behind building LambdaTest was to build an integrated ecosystem where testers and developers do not have to worry about the development and maintenance of infrastructure. An integrated platform where all tools talk with each other and a developer or tester doesn’t have to hop from one platform to another for every small task.

The main source of inspiration was Adobe, who has built an umbrella for designer i.e. a single suit for designing, photography, videography editing, and designing needs. LambdaTest cut down the steps included in testing web applications and helped focus developers and building products that solve real-world problems.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
LambdaTest is a Software as a Service platform that aims at bringing the whole testing ecosystem to a cloud-based platform. For now, we are providing the on-demand testing infrastructure that is used by developers and testers for performing testing of their web-based applications. We provide browser, browser version, and operating system combination that the user may not have access to, in-house. We have an in-house team for all aspects of the application development process and rarely get the need to outsource any task to third party vendors.
How is your business model beneficial from a value addition perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?
The biggest value addition LambdaTest brings is in terms of freedom from investing in infrastructure for testing purposes. Users would not have to invest both time and resources on building up in-house device labs or worry about maintaining sets of virtual infrastructure.

Most cloud-based infrastructure providers focus on providing access to hardware on the cloud. You would still have to invest considerable effort in developing the desired environment of the operating system, browser, and browser version for testing purposes.

With LambdaTest, we take care of maintaining and developing infrastructure. Every time a new operating system is launched, a new mobile device is launched, or a new browser is released, we add it to our infrastructure cloud, and users get on-demand access to these environments at no extra cost.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
LambdaTest is used by developers, testers, project managers, webmasters, and web owners of companies of all sizes. We have users ranging from fortune 500 companies to months-old startups.

We offer subscription-based services; and thanks to our platform’s performance and our customer service, we have a very high retention rate. We are growing exponentially month on month, and we have a very high rate of repeat business. In ratio, more than 30% of users every month are new subscribers, whereas the rest are repeat users.
Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of testing an application & website.
For all web applications, and especially so for customer-facing web applications, the most critical parameters to test are usability, functionality, user experience, and performance. Usability and functionality have to be tested even before making the website on production, whereas performance and load-taking capacity of a website is something that can only be accurately tested in a live environment. We also recommend thorough testing of web pages on different browsers for cross-browser compatibility and testing on all the most popular mobile devices for the responsiveness of the webpages.
How much effort in terms of time goes into testing the front end and back end of an application & website?
Effort spent in frontend and backend testing is dependent a lot on the structure and purpose of the website. Compute-heavy websites that have a lot of background server-side processes usually require longer and thorough backend testing, whereas user-facing heavy websites with lots of frontend pages and functionality require more focus on frontend testing at every release.
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right model for testing?
Before starting any project, it’s really important to start thinking about testing right from the planning phases itself. The key parameters to consider includes:
● Type of product being built and architecture of the product
● The objective of the testing
● Development and Release cycles
● Resources and Team Available
● The budget of the project
● Target Audience of the final product
● Devices, operating systems, and browsers being used by the target users
Agile Testing or Waterfall Testing. Which testing model do you prefer?
LambdaTest has always been a customer-centric company, and due to the same, we have always preferred agile development methodologies. Agile method allows us to add any feature in the product in a short amount of time.

This especially comes in handy in a case where we have to close an enterprise deal which is stuck due to a single feature. In my honest opinion, the agile methodology should be adopted by all startups as it will give them the flexibility to make changes in their product fast.
Please list some factors which are important while testing a product or service.
There are multiple factors to consider while starting any testing project including:
● Performance of the product
● Compatibility of the platform with different browsers, operating systems, and devices the users may use to access it
● Usability of the tool
● Testing process to be implemented
● Scalability of testing solution
● Targeted demographics
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of testing a product or service?
Here are the key deciding factors before choosing any testing product:
● Scalability - Ease of scaling up the testing solution as the main product increases in size and features
● Ease of use - How intuitive and use the platform actually is.
● What are the alternatives - Are there any possible alternatives that can get the job done easier, faster, or cheaper?
● Pricing and Cost of scaling up - What’s the price of the product now and what it would be as scale-up. There are a lot of platforms that cheaper alternatives at the starting; however, their cost starts rising exponentially as you grow in size.
● The number of man-hours saved because of the tools - Is the tool actually saving time for the team or is just another bureaucratic layer that will make the whole process more complex and time-consuming?
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions, etc.)
We follow a fixed recurring cost pattern under which our cost-per-month is based on the number of concurrent sessions. What this means is the number of parallel real-time or automated tests a user can run. More concurrency means more price.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
