Summary

Sauce Labs Offers Software Testing to COVID-19 Innovators` Sauce Labs is extending its Open Sauce program to offer free and reduced-cost testing for organizations innovating to address COVID-19. The program provides access to thousands of browser, OS, and emulator/simulator combinations, five concurrent sessions for testing in parallel, and unlimited testing minutes. To support the response, Sauce Labs is now offering qualifying organizations real devices for live testing on mobile devices. A company named nSightify has successfully leveraged this offering by adding a telehealth feature to its mobile app, allowing first responders to quickly consult with doctors to determine whether COVID-19 patients need hospitalization or can be treated elsewhere. By automating the testing process, Sauce Labs' Open Sauce program helped reduce nSightify's overall testing time by 50-70%. The program offers several benefits, including instant access to live and automated testing, sharing test results via various channels, and enabling organizations to get up and running quickly with their software testing.
