Experitest vs Sauce Labs: What are the differences?

  1. Price: One key difference between Experitest and Sauce Labs is their pricing. Experitest offers flexible pricing plans, including both monthly and annual subscriptions, catering to various budgets and needs. On the other hand, Sauce Labs offers a range of pricing options based on the number of parallel tests and minutes utilized, making it suitable for different testing requirements.

  2. Supported Platforms: Experitest specializes in supporting a wide range of platforms, including mobile (iOS, Android), web, desktop, and hybrid applications. In contrast, Sauce Labs focuses primarily on web and mobile platforms, with an emphasis on automating real mobile devices and browsers for testing purposes.

  3. Test Automation Frameworks: Experitest provides built-in support for popular test automation frameworks like Selenium and Appium, enabling users to easily integrate their existing test scripts. In contrast, Sauce Labs offers extensive support for various test automation frameworks, including Selenium, Appium, and Espresso, broadening the options for users looking to integrate their preferred frameworks.

  4. Device and Browser Coverage: Experitest boasts a vast device and browser cloud with extensive coverage, encompassing over 2000 real devices, browsers, and operating systems. Sauce Labs, on the other hand, offers a comprehensive device and browser cloud, covering a wide range of popular devices, browsers, and operating systems but with a slightly smaller overall selection.

  5. Testing Environments: Experitest provides the capability to create and manage private cloud testing environments, allowing users to have dedicated resources for their testing needs. In contrast, Sauce Labs primarily offers a shared cloud environment with shared resources among users, which might not be suitable for organizations requiring exclusive testing environments.

  6. Reporting and Analytics: Experitest offers comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities, providing users with detailed insights into test execution, results, and performance metrics. Sauce Labs also provides reporting and analytics features, allowing users to monitor and analyze test results and performance, but with a slightly different set of reporting options.

In Summary, Experitest and Sauce Labs differ in their pricing models, supported platforms, test automation framework support, device and browser coverage, testing environments, and reporting and analytics capabilities.

Advice on Experitest and Sauce Labs

I am looking to purchase one of these tools for Mobile testing for my team. It should support Native, hybrid, and responsive app testing. It should also feature debugging, parallel execution, automation testing/easy integration with automation testing tools like Selenium, and the capability to provide availability of devices specifically for us to use at any time with good speed of performing all these activities.

I have already used Perfecto mobile, and Sauce Labs in my other projects before. I want to know how different or better is AWS Device farm in usage and how advantageous it would be for us to use it over other mentioned tools

A SaaS offering like Sauce Labs (or BrowserStack or LambdaTest, etc) will provide a remote Selenium/Appium Grid including the ability to run test automation in parallel (up to the amount based your subscription level) an a wide array of browsers and mobile devices.

These tools can be expensive, but if you can afford them, the expertise and effort of maintaining the grid, browser updates, etc. is worth it.

AWS Device Farm can be significantly cheaper, but is much more work to setup and run. It will not give you as many devices, or the reporting and screen/video capture you get with the the services. And there is no support for AWS Device Farm, and very poor documentation. I have used it, but do not recommend it. Running your own grid and physical device lab is better, but I'd stick with a service like Sauce Labs or Perfecto which will save you time and give you better services despite the higher price tag.

        What are some alternatives to Experitest and Sauce Labs?
        Appium
        Appium is an open source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid, and mobile web apps. It drives iOS and Android apps using the WebDriver protocol. Appium is sponsored by Sauce Labs and a thriving community of open source developers.
        BrowserStack
        BrowserStack is the leading test platform built for developers & QAs to expand test coverage, scale & optimize testing with cross-browser, real device cloud, accessibility, visual testing, test management, and test observability.
        Selenium
        Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
        Kobiton
        It enables developers and testers to perform automated and manual testing of mobile apps and websites on real devices. Modern DevOps and Quality environments require apps to be tested on hundreds of device/OS/browser combinations. Managing an in-house device-lab is expensive, resource intensive, restrictive and very manual. Kobiton allows for instant provisioning of real devices for testing with automated or manual scripts, and also allows current on-premise devices to be plugged in to form a holistic testing cloud.
        JUnit
        JUnit is a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.
