    Sauce Labs

    Score6.3 out of 10
    N/ASauce Labs is a cloud-based platform for automated testing of desktop and mobile applications. It is designed to be instantly scalable, since it is optimized for continuous integration workflows. (The vendor says that when tests are automated and run in parallel on multiple virtual machines across many different browser, platform and device combinations, testing time is reduced and developer time is freed up from managing infrastructure.) The Sauce Labs testing cloud is intended to be paired…

    Considered Both Products
    Sauce Labs
    Chose Sauce Labs
    Mostly all the customers are using Selenium for automated test cases. Sauce Labs supports Selenium and webdriver compatible which we liked most.

    Chose Sauce Labs
    BrowserStack is too slow and costs the same as Sauce labs. They also don’t have as many capabilities as Sauce. Selenium grid is too much of a maintenance nightmare.

    Chose Sauce Labs
    We built out a monstrosity that barely achieved our goals, and ran on our local network before Sauce. WE also frequently investigate other vendors to make sure we are getting the best product. We have yet to evaluate a tool that meets the same level of quality we receive from …

    Chose Sauce Labs
    SauceLabs is really known to us because we have used Sauce Labs since 2012..2013 and we're really happy with it. I don't know if we'll change Sauce Labs. But we do not know any other product that has significant key features that Sauce does not have.

    Chose Sauce Labs
    BrowserStack captures more market share than Sauce Labs does as of this writing, and thus has a much larger support network. During testing, it was also a little faster to spin-up virtual machines, and substantially quicker spinning-up mobile simulators and emulators. Pricing …

    Chose Sauce Labs
    Sauce Labs (when applied properly) seems to be a more efficient cross browser solution, while offering way, waaaaay more functionality and capability. In fact, sometimes it felt like there was too much baked in there and that Sauce might need to be broken into smaller pieces …

    Chose Sauce Labs
    Sauce Labs is easier to configure, also it has a great documentation which helps a non-technical user in a great way. Sauce Labs is pretty good in performance compared to BrowserStack. And with a variety of support for different automation tools, makes a Sauce Labs 100% a first …

    Chose Sauce Labs
    With SauceLabs, it may be cheaper to use the service, or not. And you don’t have to manage/maintain cloud servers (e.g. turn on, off, etc.). It’s all managed for you and on demand. Those are the advantages.

    Chose Sauce Labs
    We determined, after much research and data collecting, that Sauce Labs was a better overall solution to our organization's tech needs. Our QA team was very invested in making a decision that we could be happy with not just now, but in the long term. Having to switch from one …

    We previously used AWS and switched to Sauce Labs because of the ability to use numerous OS/browser combinations and not having to set those up in AWS.

    Chose Sauce Labs
    Sauce Labs was found to be both faster and cheaper. Speed was our primary concern as we probably run a couple hundred tests per hour, and have a lot of developers that get blocked waiting for tests.

    Chose Sauce Labs
    We chose Sauce Labs over BrowserStack after an extensive evaluation and comparison between the two. We found Sauce Labs to be both more reliable (less false positives per test run) and also faster than BrowserStack was.

    Chose Sauce Labs
    I evaluated Browser Stack at the same time I tried Sauce Labs and the ease of use of Sauce Labs made it an instant winner to me. I found Browser Stack (in early 2015) to be a little cumbersome to use and navigation wasn't always very intuitive to me where Sauce Labs excelled …

    Chose Sauce Labs
    I only used BrowserStack, another service with similar capabilities to Sauce Labs. I found that Sauce Labs for manual testing is much faster. For automation I only used Sauce Labs, I'm not completely satisfied with its speed there, but I cannot compare them on this field. Browse…

    Chose Sauce Labs
    In the past, I have had my own labs. Trying to keep machines updated, running, and everything else is a pain. And it's very costly. Using Sauce Labs I pay a small monthly fee, and I have all the pain taken away. How amazing is that? From a manager's perspective, my people don't …

    I previously used Jenkins for continuous running of our tests. But I found that UI is not very user friendly and also no proper logging and video recording available. So we decided sauce labs over Jenkins.

    I have the most experience with selenium. I have used form filler, which is a Google add-on that allows you to create a form quickly. This is a little easier to use and has less setup time than selenium IDE, however, it is less powerful. I picked selenium because it is an …

    HP UFT vs. Selenium - the major difference is that Selenium is free and open source. So there is a lot of money saved upfront on licensing - moreover with UFT/QTP VB scripting is a must and VB is not a very flexible language, is outdated and is a hard skill to find these days.
