Sauce Labs

Sauce Labs is a cloud-based automated testing platform that enables developers and quality assurance teams to test web and mobile applications across multiple browsers, operating systems, and devices. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Sauce Labs offers a comprehensive suite of testing tools including cross-browser testing, mobile testing, and live web testing. The company's platform supports over 800 browser, operating system, and device combinations, allowing users to run automated and manual tests at scale.

Sauce Labs' core offerings include a Selenium-based automated testing infrastructure, real device cloud for mobile app testing, and visual testing capabilities. The platform integrates with popular development tools and supports various programming languages and frameworks, enabling seamless incorporation into existing CI/CD pipelines. In recent years, Sauce Labs has expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions, including AutonomIQ for AI-powered low-code test automation in 2021.

The company's technology leverages a microservices architecture that scales based on testing requirements, allowing for parallel test execution to reduce overall testing time. Sauce Labs also provides detailed analytics and error reporting to help teams identify and resolve issues quickly. In 2023, the company introduced Sauce Orchestrate, which claims to execute mobile app and cross-browser tests up to 70% faster than traditional methods.
