Sauce Labs Reviews

The temporary storage they are giving is just awesome. You can run all your tests in the cloud on one powerful platform.

I was just surfing to know about monkey runner and selenium tools, I encountered this cool tool and boom. Thousands of events can be fired easily to your device. Purchasing it would be worth it.

None as of now. Soon I will be purchasing ( if my Director approves :P) then i can honestly tell you. The 7-days scheme should be removed.

2 weeks

No. The configuration of server explained properly.

No.

No. The most famous selenium integration is enough to show off your scalability.

No.

Somewhat complex in terms of configuring server.

Ability to scale and run in cloud

Multi-platform support

Links are not present very easily. One has to search for them.

Ability to run on physical devices is not present.

Almost 8 months

Keynote, but did not use because of pricing.

I recently took a trial account of Sauce Labs for some R&D purposes. Sauce Labs has pretty amazing capabilities of providing huge combinations of OS-platforms and emulators and my objective was achieved. My impression was the the site had all the information which I needed to get started but it was scattered and not easily accessible. Example, I somehow reached the tests dashboard page and I memorized it for subsequent access instances as it was not present in links sections. Maybe I missed it, but then if key information is not placed such that it is easy to find, then others can as well miss it. I found Platform Configurator extremely helpful but I found it only when I visited the Platforms page. Before that I was struggling to find what all information should be put in desired capabilities because that appeared to change with platform. I also liked that Sauce labs provide an amazing 90 hours during trial period which is really useful when R&D has to be done. It would be icing on the cake if Sauce Labs can provide a way to run tests on real devices.
Thanks Sauce Labs, you have one more loyal subscriber.

Mobile application testing.

Yes, it allowed us to scale mobile testing across the globe.

Cloud availability.

More physical devices.

Sauce Labs was very easy to use for basic needs, but using Sauce Connect was very confusing. I am a technical person, but the documentation needs to be a little more easy to understand for non-programmers. The documentation on this site is more oriented towards the software engineer than to the QA engineer.

Our organization has improved by testing our website on more devices and browsers than we currently have. We were able to test on the newest browsers without installing them on our computers, and test the newest operating systems without updating our mobile devices.

They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests. I can eliminate having to find a person with the necessary device or browser who will perform the tests quickly on my desk. It also allows me to use the Selenium script test which eliminates more human error.

It would be nice for it to ask for the URL along with browser/operating system I want to try, but not for it to simply ask for a combination. I want to be able to start ten at the same time. I would also like to put a username and password before the test launch instead of entering ten tabs and having to put the same information over and over again.

No

Validates our cloud application on multiple browsers. The application is based on Node and is hosted and deployed on the cloud. The application is supported on all major browsers.

Sauce Labs provided the capability to test our application on multiple browsers. It allows us to not have to worry about setup and cleanup every time we want to run the tests.

Sauce Connect gave us ability to test an application that was hosted locally. Playback recording of the entire test suite also helped us while debugging failures.

1. Ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines 
2. Ability to install profiles on iOS real mobile devices

It is a good web and mobile application automated testing platform. I am able to eliminate having to find a human with a specific device or browser and have them test.

It's easy to implement and is time saver. Initially, there were some stability issues with IE9 combos but have since been resolved. They have excellent customer service.

Appium for mobile testing has improved our organization by allowing us to test our website on more devices and browsers than we currently possess.

Progress towards reducing application testing time can be made. There should be better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers similar to new testing frameworks on the market.

We capture bugs before they make it to production. Once the setup is done, the automation tester focuses on automation testing. Without worrying about infrastructure, we let our testers shine, and ultimately, be more effective.

Sauce Labs has been very important to our project. We have used Sauce Labs to run our builds for both mobile and desktop web applications, as well as for nightly regression builds. The only reason we have stopped using Sauce Labs is due to project budget and the removal of an automated QA resource. Still, we have hooked up a pretty spiffy Jenkins and Sauce Labs in conjunction with several third party web-metric systems (such as YSlow) to capture a nightly set of performance data.

Sauce Labs has one of the best infrastructures available for browser automation, and it keeps getting better. You have a huge amount of open source, community provided resources, which allow you to do almost anything right away.

Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved. However, Sauce Labs appears to be on that track. With all of the innovations that they have made over the past year and a half, I am looking forward to the changes they have planned for the future.

It provides zero maintenance browser instances.

We have better validations.

It has a wide assortment of platforms.

It should provide more examples of script code.

We experience very infrequent issues with stability.

No scalability issues.

I would rate support as an eight out of 10.

We implemented it in-house.

Our ROI is good.
