BrowserStack Test Reporting

BrowserStack is widely known for its cross-browser testing platform. Its reporting tool provides basic visibility into test execution, offering logs, screenshots, and session replays. However, it falls short on advanced analytics, flaky detection, and role-specific dashboards that QA and DevOps teams now consider essential for debugging at scale.

TestDino

TestDino is a Playwright-native, AI-powered test reporting platform that automatically categorizes failures, detects flaky tests, and provides detailed summaries and release metrics. By surfacing actionable insights and eliminating hours of manual debugging, TestDino streamlines CI/CD workflows with secure, encrypted data and one-step CI integration.

Which Playwright reporting tool speeds triage with PR aware views?

BrowserStack gives real-time visibility, but lacks deep root cause and predictive insights. TestDino adds AI-driven failure classification, flaky test detection, and clear insights to speed up debugging and improve CI/CD.

1. Dashboard
BrowserStack
  • BrowserStack Generic dashboards show test results, logs, and screenshots, with no differentiation for QA, developers, or managers.
TestDino

TestDino centralizes automated test results in a single dashboard with views tailored for every role.

QA Dashboard: Leverages AI to pinpoint flaky tests and recurring failures, streamlining triage and bug verification.
Developer Dashboard: Gives rapid insights into pull requests by identifying active blockers and branch status.
Manager Dashboard: Tracks vital quality indicators to present a clear overview of project performance and readiness.

2. Test Run Insights
BrowserStack
  • BrowserStack Displays test runs in a list format. Developers must manually investigate each run to identify the cause of failures.
TestDino

The Test Runs tab serves as your complete testing dashboard, providing a unified view of all CI executions.

It adds essential context like branch, environment, and AI-powered labels to reveal what failed and why.
Core sections inside a Test Run:
Summary: Groups failures and flaky cases by root cause for quick triage.
Specs: Offers detailed per-spec results, showing duration, counts, and status per file.
History: Highlights performance and stability trends across runs.
Configuration: Lists detailed execution parameters to detect inconsistencies.
AI Insights: Uses AI to identify error clusters and recurring problem patterns.

3. Pull Request View
BrowserStack
  • No dedicated PR-centric view. Test results are tied to CI pipelines.
TestDino

The Pull Request view in TestDino clears the uncertainty developers face when tests fail within PRs.

It provides a single view of all runs and retries, outlining pass, fail, flaky, and skipped results so developers can instantly understand the outcome of their updates and fix issues efficiently while staying in context.

4. AI Insights
BrowserStack
  • BrowserStack provides basic AI-assisted root cause suggestions and flaky detection.
TestDino

TestDino’s intelligent AI system scans extensive run histories to detect critical failure patterns, including:

Persistent Failures: long-standing, high-priority bugs.
Emerging Failures: recent regressions introduced in updates.
Its Analysis Insights view visualizes these patterns by following error message trends, revealing frequently impacted tests and affected branches.

5. Analytics
BrowserStack Test Reporting

BrowserStack delivers powerful, out-of-the-box dashboards for monitoring test reliability and diagnostics but often focuses on surface-level signals rather than prescriptive insights.

1. Build Runs Overview of executed builds with pass/fail status and detailed execution logs.
2. Tests Health Provides a snapshot of overall test stability, highlighting flaky or frequently failing tests.
3. Unique Errors Groups errors to identify recurring issues and reduce debugging time.
4. Testing Trends Displays historical stability and performance trends across multiple builds.
TestDino

TestDino structures analytics into four well-defined categories, providing actionable insights rather than a long, cluttered list. Our approach ensures users can easily interpret data, segmented into Summary, Test Run, Test Case, and Environment.

1. Summary
  • Track how many tests run daily and their results.
  • Monitor flaky tests to reduce false alerts.
  • Catch regressions quickly by checking new failures.
  • Study retries to spot unstable tests.
2. Test Run
  • Measure speed with average and fastest run times.
  • Check total time saved and efficiency improvements.
  • Compare run times across different branches.
  • Analyze daily trends for pipeline slowdowns.
3. Test Case
  • Find slowest tests for optimization.
  • Compare past pass/fail results to confirm fixes.
  • Check performance categories for suite efficiency.
  • Monitor new tests to track coverage growth.
4. Environment
  • Compare pass rates to identify unstable environments.
  • Track pass rate trends for post-deployment problems.
  • See how tests run across branches and OS.
  • Use run volume to filter noise from real trends.
