Sauce Labs

Cloud based device testing and automation are a major plus for Sauce Labs. I like having a wide variety devices, operating systems and browsers available for testing on demand, and it's extremely helpful for our automation.

The logging at the moment doesn't seem to be all that great, and from time to time I encounter some lag or stuttering issues over the network causing some of our tests to fail or it prevents the user interface from being responsive.

We're aiming to reduce our testing bottleneck with Sauce Labs, and we're seeing some success with it already due to vastly decreased testing times.

It has a variety of platforms and devices that we can choose from. The great thing is that SauceLabs support appium and mobile devices testing. We currently have some web product so testing the responsiveness is a must. And with Saucelabs, we have reduced the number and effort of manual testing by running the test on the cloud.

I wish there is a mobile app for that for easier access. For sometimes we want to check the result immediately, we need to access the website on the phone browser. If there was a Saucelabs app like other out there, it would be a lot more convinient.

You can always ask for a trial, and there support is really fast, just send them an email and get it back within an hour.

- Cross-browser testing

- Multi and cross platform testing (windows vs Mac vs Linux)

- Reduce the time of manual testing

- Can run test of different mobile devices at once

I like very much the "test object" solution. It is very helpful to not have physical devices in the office, having the possibility to access to an online site to pick any device at any time. It is really amazing and help our team to be more productive, cheaper and faster.

Sometimes the network speed is a bit poor... I think it is because we are in Argentina and it is a long distance between us. But it is really a bad point to all the South American customers.

On the other hand, the support team replies are not very faster all the time. It's a good point to improve Saucelabs.

We are solving the problem of automate a large manual regression tests without having physical devices in our office.

We are so proud of choose Saucelabs as a partner in this way. Because it help us very much with our goal at a accesible price.

I like the ease to run a lot of combinations of OS/browser/version when i'm testing web apps with selenium just calling selenium hub. Testing and automate tests in different browsers and operative systems is a hard and expensive task, because you have to install and the do all maintenance and updating work.

When you need to trial the application, the trial accounts are very limited, without all OS and browsers available in the professional plans.

I strongly recommend considering this tool if your need is to test web applications in different browsers, devices and operating systems. The characteristics of this platform solves very complex tasks in the field of testing.

The biggest benefit of using saucelabs is the ease of running tests on any operating system, browser and browser version without worrying about the installation and maintenance work involved. It saves many problems and allows you to focus just on designing tests and executing them.

In addition, there is a wide variety of operating systems, devices, browsers, browser versions available.

The service is outstanding. They provide me with the combinations of browsers/platforms that make it easy for me to do my job. And I don't have to spend any of my time maintaining a lab! Lab maintenance is where I found I was spending a lot of time in previous jobs. One less thing to worry about now! I love being able to watch the videos, and to share the screenshots that the system takes for me.

Sometimes it takes a little longer than a few days to get my support cases to closed. They used to be able to turn around support cases in a few hours, but now it's a little longer. It seems to me (anecdotally) that the time needed to get the tests running is a smidge longer. But I have not done anything besides mention this to support.

Of course!

Cross Browser validation

Mobile App validation

Using Sauce labs just saves me time in the long run.

Sauce Labs is great for providing varied mobile and web platform & versions to test against - this includes live and automated. This has been useful to our manual testers as well as some of our CI processes. Their support is also pretty good, I may not get the answer I want right away, but they do respond and are willing to work with me.

I do dislike the slow speeds of testing due to the setup time, especially on mobile devices. Also without some forethought, tests can be very disorganized and unmanageable

We need to be able to ensure that our products work across a varied set of mobile and web platforms to support our business. We are able to to leverage internal and sauce labs servers with different versions of mobile and web to assist in this endeavor. So far, we're finding issues faster than waiting on manual testers checking browsers and validating against real devices in shop.

We have a lots of different device configurations we need to support and Saucelabs provides a great service for mobile and web automated testing requirements. There is, an intuitive and functional user interface and the service allows integration with our chosen continuous integration products.

Occasionally there can be latency issues in which the saucelabs page takes too long to load. This can cause test automation issues and can be annoying.

Great cloud based testing tooling for mobile and web with full integration with continuous integration tooling.

Mobile and web automated testing across many device configurations and full integration with our continuous integration tooling.

The best thing about Sauce Labs is the ability to test our products across a variety of configurations of Operating Systems and browsers. This frees us from all the unneeded maintenance work.

No major issues here. The only thing I have noticed is the fact that tests are not as fast as on a local machine.

I'm running a full-test suite before every software release to make sure it is always working properly. Sauce Labs tests frees our development team from having it to perform them manually.
