How did Sauce Labs’s journey begin? What problem are you solving?

Sauce Labs provides the world’s largest cloud-based platform for the automated testing of web and mobile applications. Its award-winning service eliminates the time and expense of maintaining an in-house testing infrastructure, freeing development teams of any size to innovate and release better software, faster. Founded by Jason Huggins, the creator of Selenium, Sauce Labs lets users run Selenium, Appium, and JavaScript unit tests across 800+ browser and OS platforms at scale without the need to set up or maintaining dedicated testing infrastructure. With more than 150,000 users, Sauce Labs is trusted and loved by customers across every industry, including Salesforce.com, Dropbox, Twitter, PayPal, Yahoo!, Etsy, Google and more.

What do you do and makes your service exciting?

Before Sauce Labs, testing took too long, it was tedious and expensive to maintain, and it took focus off of innovation and shifted it to annoying infrastructure issues. With Sauce, innovators accelerate their software development cycles, improve quality, deploy with confidence and reduce costs. We call that automated testing. But you’ll probably just call it awesome.
