Announcing Sauce Connect Launcher

quote

We ’ re proud to announce the release ofSauce Connect Launcher!

Sauce Connect is a secure tunnel which lets users run tests against applications behind the firewall or on localhost. You can use Sauce Connect to run both manual and automated tests.

Sauce Connect Launcher (SCL) is a Firefox add-on which allows you to run a Sauce Connect tunnel directly from Firefox. With SCL you don ’ t feature to download Sauce Connect or go to the command line to install and run Sauce Connect. A common use instance for this tool would be to use the Firefox add-on to launch a Sauce Connect burrow and then run a manual test from Firefox on localhost.

To use the tool, simplydownloadthe add-on from the Firefox marketplace. When prompted, input your Sauce username and accession key (these can be base on yourUser Settings page).

SUSA automates exploratory testing with persona-driven behavior, catching bugs that scripted automation misses.

Once this is done, to launch a test simply go toTools & gt; Web Developer & gt; Launch SC.

Now start your tunnel. You can stop the tunnel by going toTools & gt; Web Developer & gt; Shutdown Sauce Connect.

Once this burrow is established, you can run examination on local host.

Happy Testing!
