Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."One of the most valuable features is that we do not have to have the cross-platform testing vehicles in-house. Sauce Labs gives us the ability to test across platforms and that really helps give us confidence in our products."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily test multiple browsers and versions, as well as off-loading our local environments using the SauceCloud."
"Supplying devices to a testing team of possibly close to one thousand testers and developers is a great undertaking but Sauce Labs has made this very easy and a welcomed solution."
"The most critical thing is that this software aligns with our Agile and DevOps way of doing things. It integrates with kickoff scripts through DevOps."
"Testing across multiple devices and environments is now possible to do quickly and effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run concurrent automated tests up to a specified value, depending on what we are currently paying for."
"I find that the multitude of browser and OS versions are very helpful for broadening testing scope."
"So far, the stability has proven to be quite good."
"The most valuable features are tools like IntelliSense and ReSharper."
"It is a very common and strong product. A lot of support is available for this product."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable."
"The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions."
"The setup is easy and straightforward."
"User-friendly ID and direct integration with GitHub are the most valuable."
"The solution is easy to use and they have also integrated with Microsoft."
"Start execution time as each time a set of tests start, it will launch a new VM so it takes a bit of time."
"The pricing model of Sauce Labs could be more flexible. Sauce Labs has just one price for the type of solution and a set number of devices. Other solutions have a fee for the base solution and an additional cost per device. If you're a smaller organization, you have to consider your needs. Some smaller companies still need to test various devices, so my advice is to start small and scale up as needed. We had initially planned to start big, but that would have been a big waste."
"Sauce Labs has room for improvement with its price point. Using a real mobile device, and having that dedicated to your team, costs more than actually purchasing a mobile device. We haven't tried the real devices yet. This is because of their price point."
"We have faced challenges with the availability of mobile devices. There was once or twice where there were no mobile devices available."
"Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
"If I had to speak of an area that could be improved it would probably have to be the speed of interaction with the devices. There is at times a considerable amount of lag while using some of the virtual and at times even physical device farm"
"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. Every sprint, with new features and child pages being added, we mostly need to do the same steps over and over again."
"I would like to see more integration in the solution."
"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"The interface should be made attractive."
