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.

Mohit Rathi

Lead Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens

With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

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."

"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."

"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."

"This product is a big time-saver, so by extension, it's a cost-savings."

"It improved our organisation by reducing escaped bugs."

"Quality was priority from day one."

"Sauce Labs support has been very helpful, and they are always friendly, even when it's not always a direct problem with their service or our usage of it."

"One of the most valuable features is that we do not have to have the cross-platform testing vehicles in-house, as Sauce Labs gives us the ability to test across platforms and that really helps give us confidence in our products."

"As stated earlier we use Sauce Labs for a combination of automated testing and manual testing. Therefore the most useful features are the ability to run the functional automated tests via a Sauce Labs tunnels which allows access to applications in our internal network. The second most useful feature is the manual side."

More Sauce Labs pros

Cons

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

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

"A little bit more speed needed to improve it."

"I think their logging could be improved a bit, possibly to include the output that I see on my command line (print statements, etc.) which help pin-point the error (if one happens) more easily."

"The complexity of setting up the tunnel comes mainly from the protocols our organization has for getting the approval to implement Sauce Labs behind our firewall."

"We have faced challenges with the availability of mobile devices. There was once or twice where there were no mobile devices available."

"The main interface, although clean, is sometimes very slow to load on slower connections and selecting a machine and waiting for it to boot up the environment takes a lot longer than other products I have used."

"The one issue I have is the 14-day trial that a new user gets for free."

"The speed needs to increase."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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"."

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

"Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!"

"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."

"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."

"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."

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

"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
