Sauce Labs Reviews

Wide variety of platform and browser configurations.

Sub-accounts allow multiple teams to test concurrently.

Documentation and speed.

Free and unlimited access to a variety of browsers to test your website in a real envornemt not just simulating behavior.

Fast feedback as you can run parallel sessions.

Screenshots and video playbacks that can be shared online!

As we desgin websites for clients, we needed to make sure that our websites are compatible with the major browsers and are also mobile-compatible.

I only tried the free trial so far, so not a lot to say about the cons.

Availability - Always ON

Scalability - Run all tests in parallel

Full Report - With logs, videos, and screenshots

Easy connect and start up.

Many options and platforms available

Faster executions and results

Parallel tests

Sauce Connects

Now, I integrated Sauce with Travis in the building process.

We have paralleled the tests, drastically reducing testing time.

Agility

Faster results

3+ years

They are great! Always friendly and thorough.

Turn-key access to any browser/OS combination I need

I've been able to help numerous companies get up and running with Selenium quickly thanks to Sauce Labs.

4 years

Support is friendly and responsive.

Solid.

Local execution and a small number of virtual images. Switched because it became too onerous to support.

For a technical person, it's pretty straightforward.

It can be complex given the nature of Selenium and integrating with a third-party platform. But once you understand the fundamentals of Selenium and Sauce, it's simple enough to connect your tests to their infrastructure and capture the results for your own reporting needs.

I help companies implement Selenium. When implementing Sauce (which is a given unless there are constraints that prohibit it) I either update their existing test code to work with it, or implement my open source Selenium framework for their testing needs (http://github.com/chemistrykit/chemistrykit) which comes with Sauce support built-in.

Cross platform testing with multiple browsers with iOS, Android, and web. Sauce labs is suitable for both native and hybrid apps.

Using Sauce Labs testing, it is faster and more accurate. I can run multiple tests on multiple browsers with a different set of devices.

Some functionality needs improvement:

• Playback is not supported for apps.
• Speed needs some attention.

Two years.

No.

Yes. Sometimes, it is not stable.

No.

Good.

Good.

No.

The initial setup was straightforward and easy.

We used an in-house team.

Good.

A license is easy to obtain.

No.

Use it. It is very useful, especially in my manual and automation testing.

• What I like most is the parallel run for multiple tests on multiple browsers simultaneously.
• Sauce Labs is useful in iOS, Android, and web testing as well.
• It has many uses in automation, as well as manual.

• Testing is now faster using Sauce Labs.
• More work in less time.
• It can run on the cloud, which is very useful for me.

The slower speed needs to increase and the connectivity stability needs to improve.

Three years.

No.

Sometimes.

No.

It is the best.

It is good.

No.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We implemented in-house.

Our ROI is good.

No.

It is great tool.

Go for it. It is very useful in the field of testing and automation is very easy to run using Sauce Labs.

Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up. The convenience of getting the test done with one click on several browsers/platforms is the key feature we use all the time.

We are saving a ton of the required lead time before starting any tests. Before, we would plan months ahead on browsers/platforms to determine the needed support, and keep them ready as development happened. Now, we can be much more efficient. Our feature design to the delivery timeline is not tied down by our ability to test anymore.

Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers.

Slightly over a year.

No, it was smooth.

We very rarely have had any crashes, but otherwise it is stable as a rock.

No.

I have not personally needed it yet, but their documentation and examples are solid.

Not applicable.

Everything else was homegrown; nothing like this.

Not at all.

Ourselves.

Yet to be measured, but if i were to take a wild swing at it, it's more than 1000%.

Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale.

None that I am aware of.

Sauce Labs is great in that you can spin up a virtual machine of one of many different configurations and quickly get your test up and running.  After, you have a great report of the test status along with screenshots, video and other meta data about your test.  To do this in house would be way too time consuming and costly.

Quickly running multiple OS and browser combinations with ease.  What more needs to be said?

Not really sure.  Maybe a .NET test runner option?  This may or may not already be in place, but I know it wasn't the last time I checked on it.

Sauce Labs has a test runner available for Ruby or some other language other than .NET which allows users to execute their tests directly from it.  This would be nice to have for .NET, as well.  Currently, tests are started locally and then they are run on Sauce Labs.  It would be a nice option to have it all started and executed on Sauce Labs.
