Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Sauce Connect gave us ability to test an application that was hosted locally. APPIUM for mobile testing has improved our organization by allowing us to test our website on more devices and browsers than we currently possess. They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources. With only a few clicks, it gives us the availability to use any browser and OS combination whenever we want. Testing across multiple devices and environments is now possible to do quickly and effectively. It provides zero maintenance browser instances. It has a wide assortment of platforms. | We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual. GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial. It provides very strong cross-platform support. |
Cons | |
The ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines should be included. The ability to install profiles on iOS real mobile devices should be included. Progress towards reducing application testing time can be made. Lacks the ability to start multiple tests simultaneously. Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved. An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product. Sometimes pasting text while using "text object" does not seem to work, and it slows down testing times quite a bit. It should provide more examples of script code. | A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment. It has low productivity. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month! Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive. 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". Trial the product and see if it suits your needs. Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale. It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate. Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s). We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs. | It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best. |
