Background

Sauce Labs was founded by Steven Hazel, John Dunham and Jason Huggins, the creator of Selenium, in San Francisco in August 2008. Huggins was named by InfoWorld as one of the top CTOs of 2010 for his work on Sauce OnDemand.

Sauce Labs allows users to run tests in the cloud on more than 700 different browser platform, operating system and device combinations, providing a comprehensive test infrastructure for automated and manual testing of desktop and mobile applications using Selenium, Appium and JavaScript unit testing frameworks. There is no VM setup or maintenance required, live breakpoints are accessible while the tests are running which enables you to investigate a problem manually. Sauce Labs also provides a secure testing protocol, Sauce Connect, for testing applications behind customer firewalls.

Sauce Labs offers automated testing for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines, and provides plugin integrations with the many CI platforms including: Jenkins, Bamboo, Travis CI, Circle CI and TeamCity. According to Forbes, Sauce Labs currently supports more than 500 browser, operating system, and device platform combinations. The company recently announced a plugin for Atlassian's JIRA project and issue tracking software.

Sauce Labs claims to be trusted by customers across a broad spectrum of industries and service providers, including Salesforce.com, Liberty Mutual, Bank of America, Twitter, PayPal, Yahoo!, Etsy, IHG, Intuit and others. In 2013, Sauce Labs was recommended by Adobe after it closed its BrowserLab testing platform for web applications. It also supports the Firebug plug-in for Mozilla Firefox. Sauce Labs is also the first platform to support Automated Testing for Microsoft Edge.

In 2015, the company was named by the San Francisco Business Times as one of the top 100 fastest growing private companies in the Bay Area for a second consecutive year, reporting 3-year revenue growth of 472%. In 2015, Sauce Labs secured an additional $15 million in Series D expansion funding from investor, Toba Capital.
