Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs
I am currently working for major home improvement retail clients on Selenium automation [and have been] for more than 4 years. Initially when we started automation we were not using Sauce labs, the execution time for a regression suite used to take 4 to 5 hours and 1 to 1.5 hours for failure analysis. After using Sauce Labs the execution time reduced significantly from 4 hours to 20 mins. Also we were able to execute scripts on different browsers and platforms. We run test cases on iPhone, iPad and android devices. Sauce Labs is being used across the organization.
- Provides variety of browser versions and a platform to execute scripts.
- We can execute test cases in parallel. This has reduced our execution time. We can do same with grid set up but it's not that easy to have infrastructure provided by Sauce Labs.
- Ability to capture videos. We can integrate video in an HTML report and show to developers how to reproduce.
- Start up time for iPhone and iPad devices takes more time. This could be reduced.
