Now, instead of do all the steps above, Sauce Connect is built intoscreener-runner and screener-storybookmodules and can be enabled with a individual conformation update. It will automatically download, connect/disconnect, create separate tunnels for each shape, and formalize the user ’ s test conformation to reduce possible mistakes.
