MR
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.

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The temporary storage they are giving is just awesome."
"It provides zero maintenance browser instances."
"Our machines are mostly Windows. Being able to test with Safari, on a Mac, and other types of browser pieces without having to manage all the infrastructure is the biggest feature that our team enjoys."
"Quality was priority from day one."
"Wide variety of platform and browser configurations."
"Now I get results 100 times faster with a wider range of platforms and different browser versions used."
"Testing is very fast with this tool."
"Sauce labs is an easy to use hosted infrastructure for managing/launch all browser versions, mobile web browsers, and native mobile applications for seamless integration testing."
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."

"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"

"I am really glad that there are tools like LambdaTest that help freelancers like me to make sure everything is okay before finally making a website live."
"LambdaTest is a saving soldier for our company by offering us thousands of browsers and platforms to test on the cloud."
 

Cons

"We have found that during automated testing this can be very slow. This causes inconsistencies with the tests."
"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."
"I may not know what should be improved on the platform, but I think it could offer a greater variety of testing solutions."
"They still have very slow support and ask many excessive questions before starting to fix the issue."
"The only caveat to mention is the availability of the next release of iOS on their systems; their adoption seems a bit slow."
"Sauce Labs was very easy to use for its basic needs, but using Sauce Connect was very confusing."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"I would like for there to be more detail in regards to the quality of our code i.e. how many failures occurred, how many passed based on industry standard metrics, etc."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."

"Their pricing is incredibly competitive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."

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