SauceLabsIntegration

Sauce Labs integration

WebDriverExtras provides a few features which aid in the integration with Sauce Labs remote web drivers.

What is Sauce Labs

Sauce Labs is a cloud-based provider of browser platforms, useful for continuous integration (CI) testing.

To use Sauce Labs you would typically start up your web application on a local web server, activate the Sauce Connect proxy (so that the remote web browser can connect to your application) and then connect to a remote web driver on Sauce Labs servers.

Using WebDriverExtras

WebDriverExtras provides a web driver factory which offers native integration with some of Sauce Labs features, including:

• Decorating the test run with a build name
• Decorating the test scenario with a scenario name
• Offering an API to send test success or failure information

Those first two are achieved just by using SauceConnectDriverFactory. The corresponding factory options class exposes a property for the build name. Also, a scenario name may always be passed to the factory when creating a web driver.

The last of these is accomplished via the interface ICanReceiveScenarioStatus, like so:

var receivesStatus = webDriver as ICanReceiveScenarioStatus;
if(receivesStatus != null)
    receivesStatus.MarkScenarioAsSuccess();
