Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs
The product my team owns is a mobile first web app. I configured our build pipeline to run all of our Javascript Jasmine tests in IE10, IE11, Safari, FireFox (FF), Chrome, iOS, and Android. On top of that we have a build that runs all of our Capybara behavioral tests against IE10, IE11, Safari, FF, Chrome, iPad, and iPhone (Android was tricky for this one so it is left out at the moment). And then on top of that I added a visual testing suite that uses sauce labs with applitools eyes to test how numerous pages on our site look on IE10, IE11, Safari, Chrome, iPad horizontal, iPad vertical, iPhone horizontal, and iPhone vertical (again android was tricky for this one so it is left out at the moment). I did most of this work in response to our team losing our QA resource as a way to give us a way to give us an automated exploratory testing.
- It is really good for giving you access to numerous OSs and devices for automated and manual tests.
- Automation via mobile device simulators are terribly slow. This causes delays in our pipeline.
- I wish It was cheaper, or had different licensing. I'd like to be able to run even more tests in parallel.
Sauce Labs gives you a whole testing grid (which uses Appium for iOS).
