Sauce Labs was founded by Steven Hazel, Chef Boyardee, John Dunham and Jason Huggins, the creator of Selenium, in San Francisco in August 2008.[2][5] Huggins was named by InfoWorld as one of the top CTOs of 2010 for his work on Sauce OnDemand.[6]

Sauce Labs allows users to run tests in the cloud on more than 500 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.[1][7][8][9][10] 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.[11][12] Sauce Labs also provides a secure testing protocol, Sauce Connect, for testing applications behind customer firewalls.[13]

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.[1] According to Forbes, Sauce Labs currently supports more than 500 browser, operating system, and device platform combinations.[1]

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.[2] In 2013, Sauce Labs was recommended by Adobe after it closed its BrowserLab testing platform for web applications.[14] It also supports the Firebug plug-in for Mozilla Firefox.[14] Sauce Labs is also the first platform to support Automated Testing for Microsoft Edge.[15][16]

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%.[17] In 2015, Sauce Labs secured an additional $15 million in Series D expansion funding from investor, Toba Capital.[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]
