Sauce Labs Teams With Internet Explorer to Create Automated Testing Tools for Developers on modern.IE

Sauce Labs' Browser Automation Powers modern.IE's Compatibility Inspector Tool in the Cloud


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2013) - Sauce Labs Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based web and mobile application testing solutions for software developers and designers, today announced they are providing automated testing for Internet Explorer's modern.IE update. The service adds Sauce Labs' cross-browser testing cloud to bring dynamic code-scanning to modern.IE, a newly launched scanner for common coding problems that often result from building for modern browsers like Internet Explorer 10 and 9 while supporting older versions of Internet Explorer.

"We're thrilled to be teaming up with Internet Explorer's modern.IE to accomplish our mutual goals of helping developers deliver terrific code and better performing applications," said Steve Hazel, vice president of product at Sauce Labs. "With the addition of Sauce Labs to the compatibility testing toolkit for modern.IE, developers can easily get more thorough reports and recommendations on how to improve their site's Internet Explorer compatibility and performance."

"Today users have more choices than ever as they browse the web. Supporting a user's choice of browser, platform, and device is becoming increasingly challenging for developers as they build for the web. With modern.IE and the browser automation of Sauce Labs, we are helping developers save time when testing so they can spend more time innovating," said Justin Garrett, senior product development manager, Internet Explorer.

Sauce Labs offers a cloud of over 100 browser and operating system versions -- including mobile platforms -- for automated and manual testing of web apps. The company's software-as-a-service (SaaS) application is used by some of the largest consumer and enterprise brands today. The Sauce testing cloud is already used to run over five million tests each month, with that number continuing to grow. Sauce also provides a unique, cloud-based, automated testing platform for both native iOS apps and mobile web hybrid apps, and a mobile test cloud for web browsers on the Mac OS X, iOS and Android environments.
