Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs

Our Engineering department consists of over 30 teams and about one-third of them use Sauce Labs in their daily software development process. Each team uses Sauce Labs for different purposes, they include: Continuous Integration testing, A-B version testings with mobile browsers and web browsers, acceptance testing, UI defect troubleshooting, browser compatibility testing and load testing. Our company has given the software developer the main responsibility of software quality in our products, so we are very lean on QA and testers. This means we rely a lot on Sauce Labs automation tests to validate our builds, test environments, and production environments.
  • Sauce labs always has the latest versions of browsers available shortly after their release. This keeps our UI tests relevant and valuable because we are always testing the newest browsers available.
  • Sauce Labs' REST API is easy to use and very little effort was required on our side to integrate our systems with it.
  • The Sauce Labs UI is very easy to use. I can give an engineer a 5 minute demo on it and they are up and running on their own.
  • The User Management UI could use an upgrade, but I do think Sauce Labs is working on it.
  • Account Usage trends and analytics only goes back 60 days. I would like to see our company's usage since day 1.
  • Alerting integration with Slack, Hipchat and email would be nice to know when certain test failure conditions are met.
  • none
We continue to find value in Sauce Labs and have not pursued any other products like it.

Because of our confidence in Sauce Labs, we have over a dozens teams using it for their software development lifecycle and they rely on it for daily builds and test validations and have it integrated in many different systems.
  • I have been using Sauce Labs for over 5 years. It is integrated in hundreds of UI automation tests I have running daily.
  • It has also been helpful for providing test acceptance during new builds and new feature development.
  • We have hundreds of UI regression tests in Sauce Labs which have eliminated some of the manual testing aspects of quality control.
  • Sauce Labs is also useful if you need to spin up an obscure OS and browser combination when you are trying to reproduce a customer filed bug.
  • We've used Sauce Labs for minor load testing scenarios and it has been very useful, but in cases when you need some serious production-type load tests, there are other tools that would provide a better and cheaper solution.
