Sauce Labs is a cloud-based platform
for automated testing of desktop and mobile applications. It is designed to be instantly scalable, since it is optimized for continuous
integration workflows. (The vendor says that when tests are automated and run in parallel on
multiple virtual machines across many different browser, platform and device
combinations, testing time is reduced and developer time is freed up from
managing infrastructure.) The Sauce Labs testing cloud is intended to be paired…

Chose Sauce Labs
Mostly all the customers are using Selenium for automated test cases. Sauce Labs supports Selenium and webdriver compatible which we liked most.
BrowserStack is too slow and costs the same as Sauce labs. They also don’t have as many capabilities as Sauce. Selenium grid is too much of a maintenance nightmare.
Sauce labs held it's own against Selenium GRID. Maintenance was a key factor, as this is removed from the equation with Sauce Labs. With a GRID, you have to be on the ball with every latest development with Appium, various drivers, etc. Also, the video replay in sauce labs …
I previously used Jenkins for continuous running of our tests. But I found that UI is not very user friendly and also no proper logging and video recording available. So we decided sauce labs over Jenkins.
Sauce Labs is easier to configure, also it has a great documentation which helps a non-technical user in a great way. Sauce Labs is pretty good in performance compared to BrowserStack. And with a variety of support for different automation tools, makes a Sauce Labs 100% a first …
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 …
SauceLabs is really known to us because we have used Sauce Labs since 2012..2013 and we're really happy with it. I don't know if we'll change Sauce Labs. But we do not know any other product that has significant key features that Sauce does not have.
With SauceLabs, it may be cheaper to use the service, or not. And you don’t have to manage/maintain cloud servers (e.g. turn on, off, etc.). It’s all managed for you and on demand. Those are the advantages.
I evaluated Browser Stack at the same time I tried Sauce Labs and the ease of use of Sauce Labs made it an instant winner to me. I found Browser Stack (in early 2015) to be a little cumbersome to use and navigation wasn't always very intuitive to me where Sauce Labs excelled …
We built out a monstrosity that barely achieved our goals, and ran on our local network before Sauce. WE also frequently investigate other vendors to make sure we are getting the best product. We have yet to evaluate a tool that meets the same level of quality we receive from …
BrowserStack captures more market share than Sauce Labs does as of this writing, and thus has a much larger support network. During testing, it was also a little faster to spin-up virtual machines, and substantially quicker spinning-up mobile simulators and emulators. Pricing …
Sauce Labs (when applied properly) seems to be a more efficient cross browser solution, while offering way, waaaaay more functionality and capability. In fact, sometimes it felt like there was too much baked in there and that Sauce might need to be broken into smaller pieces …
We determined, after much research and data collecting, that Sauce Labs was a better overall solution to our organization's tech needs. Our QA team was very invested in making a decision that we could be happy with not just now, but in the long term. Having to switch from one …
The only other company I know of that provides similar service is BrowserStack, I spent some time a few years ago while comparing the two of them to decide which one to buy for our needs, and we decided to go with sauce labs. The main reason at the time was the video recordings …
In the past, I have had my own labs. Trying to keep machines updated, running, and everything else is a pain. And it's very costly. Using Sauce Labs I pay a small monthly fee, and I have all the pain taken away. How amazing is that? From a manager's perspective, my people don't …
We previously used AWS and switched to Sauce Labs because of the ability to use numerous OS/browser combinations and not having to set those up in AWS.
Sauce Labs was found to be both faster and cheaper. Speed was our primary concern as we probably run a couple hundred tests per hour, and have a lot of developers that get blocked waiting for tests.
I have the most experience with selenium. I have used form filler, which is a Google add-on that allows you to create a form quickly. This is a little easier to use and has less setup time than selenium IDE, however, it is less powerful. I picked selenium because it is an …
HP UFT vs. Selenium - the major difference is that Selenium is free and open source. So there is a lot of money saved upfront on licensing - moreover with UFT/QTP VB scripting is a must and VB is not a very flexible language, is outdated and is a hard skill to find these days.
