Agile and DevOps have created the big illusion that testers are no longer needed and that developers are taking full-time control of testing. But while some enterprises have indeed succeeded in getting developers more involved in testing, there are still hundreds of thousands of manual testers working every day to test applications and ensure digital quality. In this SauceCon 2021 keynote address, Diego Lo Giudice, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, examines how AI and ML are making it possible for non-dev testers to increase automation and test smarter than ever.

Learn how to download and run the Sauce Connect proxy software so that you can create a secure tunnely for testing apps that require one. Download the `sc` file, and use a few simple terminal commands to run it on your machine, see how to change the tunnel id to run on different tunnels, and how to run your test on a shared tunnel so that you can use saucectl to run tests against an app in a protected environment.

Once you have a Sauce Connect proxy tunnel up and running, learn how to run your test on a shared tunnel. See how you can run this test in different Sauce Connect tunnels with Cypress on Sauce by simple changing you tunnel-id. See a demonstartion of both options you have for running the test in the 'sauce' test environment (on the Sauce Labs Cloud of virtual machines), by updating config.yml, or using a --tunnel-id flag in SauceCTL when you run your test.

Cypress on Sauce with Testrunner Toolkit allows you to perform tests on an app that you have on your local machine (or other non-public environments), then test it against the wide variety of devices available on Sauce Labs on. in Sauce mode (on the Sauce Cloud), or run your tests in a Docker container in your local environment and send the test results to Sauce Labs. This tutorial shows how to do this using the open-source Swag Labs web app.
