I am using testplane framework (https://testplane.io/) for running automated tests of my web app. The actions I automated are pretty simple for now, e.g. open a page, click a few buttons, then assert that the page contains some text and so on.
Basically I am not sure why I might want to use remote browser grid (e.g. browserstack) vs local browsers. As of now it seems like local browser is faster, easier for debugging and generally more convenient. But there are so many references to remote grid in testplane docs that I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
