Sauce Labs is used by the entire Information Technology organization for testing applications through web browsers. Use of the multiple browser configurations provides environmental coverage for all our supported operating system / browser platform combinations. Sauce Labs allows USAA to test the configurations in parallel and decreases the overall run-time of test suites.
- Platform configuration for multiple operating system / browser version combinations.
- Supports both manual and automated test case execution.
- Can provision virtual or physical devices.
- Provide virtual devices for tablets and phones direct for use without Appium.
- Decrease the lag time between automated test execution and console display.
- Better integration publishing test execution results to external test case management systems such as Tricentis qTest.
QA team and development team are using Sauce Labs according to their needs. The development team is using sauce lab to trigger some expresso lab tests. QA team is using Sauce Labs for daily automation test cases execution on different platforms like mobile (android and ios) and web. Every day, CI pipeline triggers the execution on a Sauce Labs server with 15 parallel connections. QA team is using sauce connect to check how the application is behaving when it gets launched in the different country. Sauce Labs has a great range of emulators which is many times used to do some manual testing also.
- The biggest strength of Sauce Labs is very easy to configure.
- Supports parallel execution on different devices and os combination.
- Very good reporting which includes video, technical logs, charts, graphs which helps automation engineers to debug the failures in execution.
- Increase the range of real devices for testing with less cost.
- Support for high definition video playing on emulators.
- Many time performance of the execution is really slow, especially when connected with Sauce Connect.

Sauce Labs is currently used by all the teams I am working in. It provides a great platform for us to run the test scripts in a cloud environment that is highly stable and reliable. We run all the tests on both desktop and mobile-based test scripts in SauceLabs. Thank you for providing this.
- Running tests reliably in a cloud-based environment.
- Parallel test execution is easy and stable.
- Supports a wide variety of devices and browsers.
- Sometimes for running mobile scripts it takes a long time to open the simulator and run.
- As its run on cloud there is some latency we experience.
- But its a awesome tool.
We use Sauce Labs very extensively to run Mobile Application test cases in different version and simulators. In our organisation, we have multiple departments and multiple modules, almost all modules use Sauce Labs to execute Mobile and Web test cases. Sauce Labs majorly played an important role in executing mobile cases.
- Running mobile test cases in different environments.
- Running WEB browsers tests on different versions.
- I like Sauce Labs recordings for easy debug.
- Even looking into failure logs helped me a lot.
- Running IOS, Android tests execution is slower.
- We cannot run proxy tests on Sauce Labs.
- A11y scanning needs to be implemented in the tool.

Sauce Labs is used on many projects here at BrightInsight. For my project specifically, we are mainly using Sauce Labs to manually execute tests on iOS and Android devices. We are using the real cloud devices to test in Dry Run and Formal Verification on specified iOS and Android OS versions of these devices. We load our APK and IPA files into Sauce Labs and then run them on the specified device in our test cases. Other groups are using Sauce Labs for automated testing especially with web browsers.
Key benefit is that it helps us with testing on devices we do not have, as buying all the mobile devices is costly and we are a startup. It's also helpful because Sauce Labs contains devices that are on Beta OS versions which is great!

Sauce Labs is used to run parallel execution over cloud platform. It encourages the user to execute the test cases on different platform and browsers with different versions. It helps in validating the applications which are browser compatible and which are not. It make better approach in testing purpose. It is also useful in emulating mobile devices and perform validation in it. Hence I strongly recommend in my team and organisation
- Helpful in browser compatibility testing
- Helpful in validating the apps on different platforms and browsers
- Helpful in systematic approach in testing in performance
- Useful in emulating mobile devices and performing validations
- Would recommend to validate the performance of application also
We are using it across many teams for test automation across multiple browsers. It makes our lives much easier as we do not have to maintain multiple browsers, drivers, and platforms for testing.
- SauceConnect is great to allow tunnelling to test systems that are behind a firewall. There are many great features and they are adding more all the time.
- The fact that they maintain all WebDrivers and every version of browsers in invaluable. If we have a need for a specific platform, they have it.
- They have been having increased unexpected downtime lately. This is interruptive at times.
- no training

Sauce Labs is used across Yahoo and also in my department (Yahoo Mail). We use Sauce Labs for running UI tests as well as integration tests. It helps us automate the build process by running the tests in a production like environment. There are multiple VMs running the tests in parallel.
- Supporting different OS and browser combinations
- Adding support for new browsers as they get released
- Detailed analytics view of how the tests are running
- Sauce Labs could improve on provide test level analytics
We have an older product and a few newer products that need multi-browser and OS test runs. Sauce Labs allows us to do this with ease. It also has a dashboard with data and test results for historical data purposes.
- Multi-browser and OS combos
- Recording of all test runs
- Mobile testing with appium
- Implementation documentation needs help
- Error logging could be improved
- Better debugging inside sauce labs

Sauce Labs is being used by one of our clients and it's a pretty amazing product. They are pretty large customer with a huge demand for web and mobile testing. Sauce Labs fits their requirements so well and it caters to their need of multi-browser and device requests.
- Providing devices and browsers over cloud
- Intuitive UI
We are using Sauce Labs across our Product Development organization. The account itself and the integration with our test infrastructure is managed by the QA organization. We use Sauce Labs to ensure we can validate all our automated tests across all the key browsers. We currently execute 55,000+ automated tests each month. We have recently started using the new E2E visual regression capabilities (screener).
- We have a strong partnership with our account team. They are always willing to help us understand how we are doing, what the opportunity areas are, and are there new tools and capabilities we can take advantage of.
- They have been a big advocate for the quality work we are doing in our company. This changed some of the perception within our own organization and I'm grateful for that.
- Analytics are awesome and always help us understand how we can do better.
- I've had four changes in account managers over the past couple of years. They ranged from super experienced/advocate to some that seems relatively junior/a bit removed. I understand this happens but clarity on what I can expect with these partnerships would be valuable. What I've gotten in the end has varied dramatically.

Allows testing across all phases of development by all members of a cross functional team. Easy to access and use by all with little knowledge of Sauce Labs via the UI.
Solves:
Solves:
- Maintenance costs of devices including upgrades, software updates, malfunctions.
- Device shortage via use of public devices.
- Device sharing and collaboration.
- Access to devices during pandemic.
- Range of devices are almost endless.
- Combination of OS, Browser and browser versions are more than satisfactory.
- Logs of every type at your fingertips.
- Updates to the core could be better communicated.
- Documentation can be outdated in certain places. Like broken links or now irrelevant.
- Chat function would be nice as support even if it's a bot.
April 13, 2021
My company is big enough that there is no "one way" to do things. It is used here and there across the company, but there is a dedicated Slack channel for it, so that is good.
- Gets good people to work for it. These guys and gals are freed and just want you to succeed.
- Sauce Labs listens to what the customers want. (Though I could still use an AWS East-1, hint-hint.)
- They come to us when we ask, so that is pretty cool.
- Some of the documentation is old.
- Some of the documentation is missing for pure beginners. There are companies that throw newbies to the wolves with testing and say, "Go do this thing."
- "This thing" can't always be done with the enormity of the new toys that are available if those toys don't have "Step 1: Power on computer" kinds of tutorials.

Sauce labs is currently being used by the automation team for testing the website on different browsers and mobile emulators. It addresses the business problem of having to configure and maintain VMs and a Selenium Grid for emulators/devices or for different browser types. One immediately noticeable benefit is running on a Safari browser, as they have addressed the caching issue by instantiating a fresh browser instance for each scenario. One drawback is the performance and run time of the iPhone Simulators.
- Jenkins integration: The Sauce OnDemand and SauceConnect tools provide seamless and trivial integration with Jenkins.
- Documentation: Finding proper desired capabilities for specific browsers/platforms is quick and easy on the site.
- iPhone Simulator performance: The performance of the iPhone Simulator is dreadful. It was at least three times slower than running on a simulator on my own machine.
Sauce Labs Scorecard Summary
What is Sauce Labs?
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 with a CI system. According to the vendor, this combination allows developers to easily test desktop and hybrid, native and mobile web applications early on in their development cycles, continuously and affordably.
Sauce Labs provides enterprise-grade security via Sauce Connect™, its secure tunneling protocol for testing behind a firewall while maintaining control of proxy and access policies. Tests are run in the company’s secure data center and VMs are destroyed (not “wiped”) after each run, ensuring customer data is never exposed to future sessions. After tests are completed the Sauce Labs’ dashboard provides a unique build-oriented report with metadata, access to Selenium logs, screenshots, video recordings, and a complete list of commands and responses. Support for SSO lets customers provision new user accounts on the fly with centralized user account management, access control, and usage reporting.
