Sauce Labs Reviews

Ability to quickly spin up VMs to test combinations of browsers and operating systems is a must.  

This service allowed me to get tests running within an hour of signing up!

This service has enabled several employees here to schedule tests and shift left with CI, which offers reliability and minimizes variability.

Getting accurate pass/fail results when running TestNG scripts in parallel by class is a challenge but after some work we figured out a solution.  I have also heard some complaints about lag when spinning up VMs but it is so much faster than the alternative that I don't mind.

The unlimited manual testing capabilities across so many devices saves significant amounts of time and money. In addition, the ability to have multiple sessions open at the same time I can tell right away if there is a difference in functionality of iOS vs. android.

Sauce Labs tool has improved my testing efficiency to allow me to include devices I may not have had time to test out before. As most QA people know we get pinched in the time we are given to test. This tool allows for more testing to be done in that limited amount of time increasing the number of found issues before it reaches the customer.

Free and unlimited access to a variety of browsers to test your website in a real envornemt not just simulating behavior.

Fast feedback as you can run parallel sessions.

Screenshots and video playbacks that can be shared online!

As we desgin websites for clients, we needed to make sure that our websites are compatible with the major browsers and are also mobile-compatible.

I only tried the free trial so far, so not a lot to say about the cons.

Being able to test on Windows without a VM has been a life saver.

We've had issues with IE (of course) and being able to run my selenium tests without needing to set up a virtual machine has not only made my day a lot better, but the whole process was stupidly simple.

We've been able to reduce the number of applications running on our server, and therefore reduce the processor costs.

Honestly, I can't really think of anything. It's been a joy to use and so incredibly simple.

Hands down, would recommend.

Sauce has all of the wanted features, from just about any major OS, any major browser, and different resolutions. I can't imagine how complicated it is to support such a vast array but they seem to have done it. A client has an issue on FF on 1920x1080? No problem. I can spin up a VM instance and instantly confirm the issue. This helps us bring a new responsive web experience to users and quickly fix strange issues that would literally require a server farm to have each version of every OS!

A more clean, lean, and bug-free site! We know our site works on mobile. We know our site looks good on Safari 8 1280x1024. We know android phones display the website perfectly. It makes sure that the user doesn't get a bad experience which is crucial these days.

I don't really know of any, I wish everything life was a bit cheaper, so maybe that? I honestly have no complaints. They did all of the hard work so our lives are easier and the users get a better experience every time.

• Quick Cross-Browser Testing
• Mobile emulation

As an advertising agency, we need to see how our online ads would look like on different browsers. Before we used the Google Chrome developer emulation tool, but due to a difference between what we saw and what the client saw in a real browser, we realized that something is wrong.

I made online research for a better emulators, and Sauce Labs was one of them. So many devices and OSs to choose from, with live remote sessions, we could see real results and real looks of websites across all platforms we needed to check.

First it started as a Trial account, but now we are considering an full account to use always as our testing tool.

To being with, I had to find a way to communicate between a MAC and Windows machine in order to run tests specific to IE. Tons of stack overflows and, finally, I found Sauce Labs. Simple + straight forward + easy to use + pre loaded + runs PERFECTLY + great dashboard. 

So in short it was fun first time experience, and having 14 days trial really allowed me see the full stretch of how the SL environments are.

PROS: All that I mentioned above + the super awesome tech support guys, who are really technical when it comes to SL's product.

CONS: None so far in my first 8 days of usage. Probably an additional 15 days of trial [just kidding], I will ping/communicate/ if I stumble across a problem for sure.

The temporary storage they are giving is just awesome. You can run all your tests in the cloud on one powerful platform.

I was just surfing to know about monkey runner and selenium tools, I encountered this cool tool and boom. Thousands of events can be fired easily to your device. Purchasing it would be worth it.

None as of now. Soon I will be purchasing ( if my Director approves :P) then i can honestly tell you. The 7-days scheme should be removed.

2 weeks

No. The configuration of server explained properly.

No.

No. The most famous selenium integration is enough to show off your scalability.

No.

Somewhat complex in terms of configuring server.
