Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs

We are using sauce labs to test both manual and emulated devices to have a more wide range of test coverage and device specific tests. It is being used by the mobile and web team within the organization. One of the major business problems it is helping with addressing is the ability to test and run on specific devices that the company does not physically own and it is also is helping with integrating a CI/CD so we can test and deploy faster.
  • They have a vast amount of physical devices that run on older OS.
  • The ability to integrate with CI/CD platforms
  • More accessibility to top tier phones. For instance there are times when a premium phone is being used across all their platforms so during peak hours, there could a time when a phone is in use for 2 hours.
  • Quicker start time on mobile emulator load up. If I am sending a test suite to sauce labs, after each test case is complete the emulator stops and then needs to be ramped up again.
  • Positive ROI with the ability to test older phones or niche phones that we don't own.
  • Positive impact with CI/CD turn around time for possible sev1 bugs.
Sauce Labs stacks up to Perfecto with the sauce labs real device test bank is already in place and the vast amount of devices.

Sauce Labs stacks up to AWS Device Farm in a different manner. When a company is looking to implement automation or a CI/CD pipeline price is always a factor. If a company is not factoring in price into the equation AWS has a far superior device farm, but for a company that is looking to be budget conscious Sauce Labs has a device farm that is constantly growing.

Sauce Labs is well suited for automating both web and mobile applications. Sauce Labs is also well suited for companies that want the ability to integrate a continuous integration and continuous development pipeline. With this ability, instead of waiting a few days past code complete, the QA team is able to give a quick turnaround time because they have the ability to test both manual and automation scripts in tandem.
