Performance Tester/QA at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Network Emulation allows for performance testing of geographically-distributed users.

It is a great performance testing tool. The most valuable feature of the tool is its Avatar technology. Scripting is really fast, compared to other tools. It works for almost all major protocols, platforms and browsers. It makes complex scenarios simple, and we need minimal custom coding. It also provides features for Network Emulation, which is quite helpful in testing the performance for geographically-distributed users. Appvance can provide information from end to end (back-end and front-end), which makes it surpass other tools. The tool provides protocol level as well as browser level response time. And it can be integrated with major monitoring tools. As it is a web-based tool, it makes it easy to access anywhere anytime. All the team members can access the common information easily.

Technical support is equally very important. If you talk about anything deployed to production, and the project is live, customers are using that, and they might face some issues, some functional issues. That's when support people play a role in identifying the fix or the incident. Based on that, we create an incident based on the customer defect or whatever. Once the incident gets raised, the support will play a role in working on that particular incident. If it's a code-based incident, administration, or integration issue, support people play a big role in resolving those issues before reaching the exact developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."

"I like the dashboard and seeing the test results. As a manager, I like to see the insights of the people using it, understanding the total path and run. I can see all of that as a manager. I also know team members love seeing the dashboard and seeing the test results in real-time."

"This product is a big time-saver, so by extension, it's a cost-savings."

"Sauce Labs is the best out there, beating their competitors because of its price, customer support, and an amazing forum where you can ask and get answered really quickly."

"The insights section provides a great overall state of the automation suite and can identify trends relatively quickly."

"It provides zero maintenance browser instances."

"Using Sauce Labs testing, it is faster and more accurate."

"It's awesome. Its multifold increased our test efficiency."

"Now I get results 100 times faster with a wider range of platforms and different browser versions used."

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."

"Using Sauce Connect was very confusing."

"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."

"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."

"At various times, there are high-latency launches, or outright timeouts, but the Sauce Ops team has been pretty good about both 1) acknowledging the issue/investigation 2) working steadily to resolve it."

"Rarely, some tests fail, seemingly without cause, and will succeed again the next time we run the tests."

"They still have very slow support and ask many excessive questions before starting to fix the issue."

"Overall, I think Sauce Labs provides us with a valuable tool and resource. As far as what could be improved, I would say the overall test execution time. Some of the calls take a bit longer than I expect, for example in web browser tests; while the execution time isn't obnoxious, it could be improved so that overall tests/test suites finish faster."

"Speed and connectivity need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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"."

"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."

"Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!"

"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)."

"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."

"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."

"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
