Speeding Up Your Tests A common complaint is that tests run faster locally than on Sauce Labs due to the cloud-based nature of Sauce Labs. However, scaling up test runs can mitigate this slowdown. The focus should be on accuracy rather than speed, as inaccurate results are more critical. Improving performance without compromising reliability is essential, and there are several ways to achieve this, such as optimizing testing servers' location, disabling unnecessary features like video capture, using a proxy to reduce traffic, and leveraging optimized frameworks for local execution. By addressing these areas, developers can significantly improve the speed of their tests while maintaining accuracy and reliability.
