Performance Tester/QA at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Network Emulation allows for performance testing of geographically-distributed users.

It is a great performance testing tool. The most valuable feature of the tool is its Avatar technology. Scripting is really fast, compared to other tools. It works for almost all major protocols, platforms and browsers. It makes complex scenarios simple, and we need minimal custom coding. It also provides features for Network Emulation, which is quite helpful in testing the performance for geographically-distributed users. Appvance can provide information from end to end (back-end and front-end), which makes it surpass other tools. The tool provides protocol level as well as browser level response time. And it can be integrated with major monitoring tools. As it is a web-based tool, it makes it easy to access anywhere anytime. All the team members can access the common information easily.

Senior QA Automation Engineer at Xoriant

Offers good stability and robust but lacks generative AI capabilities

Technical support is equally very important. If you talk about anything deployed to production, and the project is live, customers are using that, and they might face some issues, some functional issues. That's when support people play a role in identifying the fix or the incident. Based on that, we create an incident based on the customer defect or whatever. Once the incident gets raised, the support will play a role in working on that particular incident. If it's a code-based incident, administration, or integration issue, support people play a big role in resolving those issues before reaching the exact developers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."

"Sauce Labs, which blends seamlessly into Agile and ATDD processes, has made the process much smoother from a QA perspective."

"Automation test runs are faster now with Sauce Labs."

"Sauce Labs is optimized for automation and integration with the major CI/CD platforms and developer tools. We have an integration with App Center that we're working on. They have a storage API that lets us retrieve APK and IPA, iOS and Android builds off the phone, so that we can continue testing with CI/CD. They integrate with Jenkins, and Jenkins is the main CI/CD."

"The error logging is also very robust. If we run a test through Sauce Labs and there's some sort of issue, a log will appear on the screen. Log messages are usually heinous and horrible... Sauce Labs is incredibly good at saying things like, 'Hey, here is the exact issue. Fix this and you can run the test.' That helps in getting things up and running and executing the way they should."

"While we are still in the early testing phase, from what I have seen so far, I can say the solution is quite stable."

"I find that the multitude of browser and OS versions are very helpful for broadening testing scope."

"Overall, Sauce Labs has provided us with a VM farm that is virtually always up and running and has taken the burden off of us/myself of maintaining the VM farm."

"Without Sauce Labs, we wouldn't be able to test as quickly or simultaneously on various browsers."

More Sauce Labs pros

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."

"This product is not super scalable, because you have a very specific number of VMs that you can use."

"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."

"Every time that we run scenarios where we need to discover the geolocation of our customers, by default it shows as Palo Alto, California. That's a problem for us and we need a workaround for those cases."

"The speed can be a little slow, but other than that it's great."

"I think there could be improvements in the way Sauce Labs provides support to its users and could maybe provide tutorial videos on its services."

"Connectivity needs to increase."

"As a web product QA team, we sometimes need to spot check some new child site on multiple browsers and OS(es). It was a little time consuming for us since we need to click on each of the browser/OS combinations and start a new session to test."

"As far as what could be improved, I would say the overall test execution time."

More Sauce Labs cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."

"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."

"When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."

"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."

"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."

"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."

"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."

"Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."
