Selenium

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

Needs advice

Looking for some advice on which tool to use for mobile testing. We need the following requirements fulfilled: 1. Instant provisioning of real devices for testing with automated or manual scripts. 2. iOS and Android devices to be available to a large team (around 60). 3. Good performance of the devices.

Detailed Comparison

Sauce Labs	Karma	Selenium
Cloud-based automated testing platform enables developers and QEs to perform functional, JavaScript unit, and manual tests with Selenium or Appium on web and mobile apps. Videos and screenshots for easy debugging. Secure and CI-ready.	Karma is not a testing framework, nor an assertion library. Karma just launches a HTTP server, and generates the test runner HTML file you probably already know from your favourite testing framework. So for testing purposes you can use pretty much anything you like.	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.
700+ browser/OS/device combinations for cross-browser and platform testing to improve web and mobile app quality and eliminate the overhead of internal infrastructure; Highly reliable, on-demand cloud for enterprise-grade scalability and industry standard security; Optimized for popular testing frameworks, CI systems, and surrounding tools and services; Works with Selenium and Appium based on industry standard Selenium WebDriver protocol. Compatible with existing tests in any popular language and testing framework; Identify test failures quickly with debugging tools like screenshots, video recordings, and detailed logs	Test on Real Devices;Remote Control;Testing Framework Agnostic;Open Source;Easy Debugging;Continuous Integration	-
