Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs
We use Sauce Labs in our engineering and QA departments to cover browser compatibility testing regressions, and it also helps with validating our Android and iOS apps through different mobile devices and OS versions.
- Variety of browsers and versions
- Variety of mobile brands and versions (Android and iOS)
- The final report of each run is very useful
- User-friendly
- Testing on mobile phones interfaces is very slow
- Sometimes we get disconnected from the cloud
- Increase mobile phone options
- ability to catch bugs or simply test specific browsers
- you can run huge test runs against several browsers
- definitely cheaper than maintaining a physical mobile device lab
- keynote device anywhere
Sauce labs is faster and integrates with a lot of technologies. Sauce Labs user interface is very user friendly and easy to use. Once you define the parameters for your test runs it is very simple to let that go and just wait for the results, everything gets recorded so you can easily go to any specific test that requires more analysis.

we were looking for tools that cover Browsers and Mobile OS compatibility, Sauce labs have both! And you have a lot of different newer and older versions for browsers and mobile devices. Another plus: it is really use to integrate Sauce labs with other automation frameworks like Selenium or Jenkins. The debugging options are very helpful
we would choose Sauce labs again, we had been working with them for more than 3 years. It is reliable, user friendly, integrates easily with other technologies and keeps improving. Also the technical and administrative provided by Sauce labs is very professional and they always have an answer in a really short time.
Using Sauce Labs
25 - Developers, Quality Assurance, Business Analyst, Product managers, Product Owners and Scrum Masters
2 - We really don't have in-house Saucelabs support, just a couple of guys with Admin rights to add, delete or modify permissions for the rest of the team.
- Browser compatibility tests
- Android OS compatibility
- Automated Selenium tests
- we improve a lot in our browser compatibility, we had in the past special defect cases that occurred in production and we didn't had a way to see the problem. We use to release "fixes" hoping to fix that problems. Now we can replicate, debug and analyze the issue improving our code quality.
- Android have a lot of different OS versions floating on the market, that was a blocker for us before, we use to test only on the newest Android OS version, but older versions had compatibility issues that we weren't able to debug and fix, Saucelabs improved this field a lot for us.
- We have a dedicated team in charge to plan and implement a whole new UI automation framework using mainly Selenium and Saucelabs.

Not Available
We contacted the Sauclebas support team when our cloud/tunnel was showing offline and they provide us a really quick tutorial about how to restart it by ourselves, being this even better because they show us a way to solve this issue without the need to call or reach them.
