Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs

Sauce labs allows us to get up and running with a test lab without the capital expenditure to build one ourselves. It makes it quick and easy to start testing on new device emulators and browsers, and it allows our BAs to verify issues in strange browsers quickly.
  • Access to internal-only sites when testing
  • Videos of automated sessions for review
  • Variety of browsers
  • Limited number of real devices
  • Subpar API that's difficult to integrate with
  • Lack of attention to Bamboo CI plugin
Great for small businesses just getting started with cross-browser testing

Using Sauce Labs

6 - Business Analysts use it to verify bug reports from customers with esoteric browsers, testers use it for testing the browsers we support, and devs use it to verify that their code is compatible with older IE. We also use it sometimes to run our functional tests cross-browser when they are automated.
1 - The only thing I really do is maintain a shared tunnel that allows their machines to come inside our network, and send invites for people to create new accounts. This is a SaaS platform, so we don't have to do much maintenance at all. It's quite useful to us to have less maintenance.
  • Test automation
  • Cross-browser testing
  • Functional testing
  • Checking if a resource is up from outside the network if we think there's some network problems
  • Automated unit testing
We're looking to cut back on the number of browsers we support, so there's been less and less need for this kind of service. Plus as we grow there's always the thought of in-housing our test lab so that we don't have to rely on external vendors. That said, we probably won't get to it this year.
