Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs

We use it to test all of our web and mobile apps for the 5 services we provide. We utilize the cross browser and device testing features. It's a test lab in the cloud that we don't have to maintain. We have 20 VMs and run roughly 1200 tests a day.
  • Cross Browser/Platform testing.
  • Keeping up with the latest technologies.
  • Supporting issues when problems occur.
  • Mobile Test take 10 times longer to run than their web counterparts. It seems like it takes roughly 7 minutes to just spin up an instance of iOS.
  • Appium support and development. The tool isn't stable, hard to set up and configure.
  • Reporting, provide more with the API integrations and allow us to customize our dashboards. Allow users to see all test run results not just their own.
  • None
We did a proof a concept with sauce labs and it did everything that we needed. It integrated with the other technologies we were already using such as CircleCI and Ruby RSpec and was so easily implemented that it was a no brainer to just run with it. Maybe there is something better out there, but Sauce Labs was just what the doctor ordered.
Mobile could definitely use some attention. It seems that Sauce Labs is behind in technology... like supporting the latest version of Swift as it comes out not months after.

Cross Browser/Platform testing is great. Especially when you develop and test via Mac. Sauce Labs has saved us many times by helping us catch IE bugs!
