Real-world device coverage
Device-specific defects don't break in staging. They break in customers' hands, and cost you revenue. AURA validates every release across 10,000+ real devices and 3,000+ OS combinations, with programmable device control built in, so the conditions your customers hit are the conditions you already tested.
THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN TESTING AND RELEASE ASSURANCE FOR TWO DECADES AND COUNTING


Real-device testing closes the gaps that pre-production environments miss. Testing on 10,000+ real devices across actual OS and network conditions surfaces defects before they reach production. Every escaped issue you prevent is an incident, rollback, and brand cost you never have to absorb.

Faster feedback loops, robust app diagnostics, and test insights mean issues are caught early, not surfaced as production fires. Developers spend less time on triage and more on building. That time compounds across sprints.

Owning a device lab means signing up for procurement, patching, and maintenance indefinitely. AURA eliminates that overhead. Teams that made the switch redirected the reclaimed capacity to shipping products instead

SAUCE LABS AURA Platform
AURA operates across three pillars — author, test, analyze — spanning the full lifecycle from requirements through production monitoring. Each capability maps directly to an operational outcome.
AURA generates tests from plain-language intent, not code. Anyone can build coverage — no scripting or framework expertise required.
Tests built on user intent keep working when the UI changes. Root cause surfaces instantly so no cycles get lost to investigation.
AURA executes test suites at scale across real & virtual devices. Functional, visual & accessibility testing all run in one platform.
Securely distribute beta builds to accelerate real user feedback. Reproduce bugs on the same devices, in the same platform.
The AI agent surfaces test failures and results with full context. Engineers spend minutes on diagnosis, not hours in logs.
Real-time crash and error alerts surface production failures and issues across the SDLC — 75% fewer crashes in production.

Most device clouds only cover test execution. AURA spans the full lifecycle — from business intent-driven authoring to execution across real and virtual devices to AI-driven root-cause analysis — in one platform, so you're not stitching together point tools.
10,000+ real devices plus 1,700+ emulators and simulators, spanning the browser, OS, and mobile combinations enterprise customers use.
For device-specific and condition-specific failures, yes. Real devices surface the hardware, OS, and network defects in pre-production environments. AURA offers both, so teams use virtual devices for speed and real devices for fidelity.
Real device coverage catches device-specific defects before release. An analyst-backed study measured a shift from roughly 50% of issues caught pre-production to 95%.
