Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs
Currently, it's used to run end-to-end regression automation test suites on the Chrome browser. We started small, testing currently only 2 full-stack RESTful web applications that reside behind a firewall. Once implemented by our server team, we will use the Sauce Connect Proxy Server as a encrypted tunnel for sending test data to the cloud-based Sauce Labs bank of virtual machines. Ultimately, we will run most / all test suites through Sauce Labs as well as run our end-to-end regression tests in parallel. The business problems addressed using Sauce Labs is the cost of maintaining an in-house testing infrastructure. We are the largest Health IT organization and an academic medical center so the number of applications that can be tested using Sauce Labs is vast. In the coming months/years we look to steadily increase the number of applications that are in our organization and utilize the Sauce Labs infrastructure for testing them.
Pros
- Super secure. Uses a encrypted tunnel for test data.
- Reasonably priced compared to their competition.
- Easily accessible support, when I need them.
Cons
- Assign an expert to my account to facilitate the on-boarding process just to be certain everything is up and running properly before turning me loose.
We determined, after much research and data collecting, that Sauce Labs was a better overall solution to our organization's tech needs. Our QA team was very invested in making a decision that we could be happy with not just now, but in the long term. Having to switch from one technology to another is painful.
