Cross-Browser Test on Edge 106, Firefox 106 & Chrome 107

We know you want your web and mobile web apps to run smoothly on every browser for the best customer experience. This month, we announced cross-browser support for Edge 106, Firefox 106, and Chrome 107.

As always, you can use our Platform Configurator to create code snippets for the capabilities you want in your automated testing scripts.

Quick Updates

You may need to update IP addresses by November 1, 2022

To expand our capacity in the cloud, we’re making some changes that might require you to take action by November 1.  

If you have an allowlist configured for outgoing connections from your network to Sauce Labs, you will need to update that allowlist by adding one or two additional IP ranges, depending on the Sauce Labs data centers that you use. If you are unsure whether this applies to you, please contact your internal network/IT team for guidance. Learn more

Score! New Screenshot tab available on the Test Results page

Do you ever wish you had a way to upload screenshots on the Test Results page? You can now view yours on the new Screenshot tab, which is visible in conjunction with Video and Logs. This feature is available for all test automation frameworks on both real devices and virtual devices.

Want to have a say in the features we launch? Join our UX research panel!

Sauce Labs is looking for rock stars like you to join our UX Research Panel. We regularly invite participants to give us their honest feedback on the features and designs that we're working on, and discuss their testing needs.
