Mobile testing is complex. You need to test your apps across multiple devices in different environments, and account for the varied conditions experienced by real users in the field. This presents a big challenge for the mobile development and QA teams. Adding to that, being remote, by definition, makes it hard for developers to understand what happened on a mobile device before an app crashed or when things didn’t work as expected. Further, the increasingly quality-sensitive users make it imperative for the modern mobile development and testing teams to deliver a flawless mobile experience with every release.

Software development can be a real grind, but one thing that makes it more bearable is the joy of a passing build. Not only is that green bar important when you're iterating on a feature, but it's normally a vital part of determining whether or not your software can be released. Getting to a green build as quickly as possible allows you to experience that joy of a passing build more frequently, and allows you to verify that the next release is good more quickly than your competitors. It's a vital building block as we move towards Continuous Deployment.

The world of technology is changing right before our eyes. Development teams are moving at speeds that once seemed unimaginable and delivering new products and capabilities that we never thought possible. In this keynote interview, Aled Miles, president and CEO of Sauce Labs, is joined by Toby Redshaw, former SVP of enterprise innovation and 5G solutions at Verizon, to discuss how organizations can harness the power of modern technology to create sustainable growth and improve customer relationships.

In this video, you will learn to set up two simple jobs with GitHub Actions and Saucectl to create a pipeline that builds and tests an example web app, as well as runs a test on Sauce Labs' virtual machines using Testrunner Toolkit and Sauce Control. Starting from a project set up in a previous tutorial, learn to add jobs to a github workflow .yml file. Use Actions to start a Sauce Connect Proxy Tunnel, install saucectl, and use it to run an automated test using Cypress.

In this tutorial, you will see how to set up a app project file cloned from the public `Swag Labs` web app provided by Sauce Labs, and create your own GitHub repository. Setup secrets in Github, and create the YAML file in the .github/workflows directory that will allow you to build & test the app using GitHub actions. Set the events in testrunner.yml that trigger the workflow to run, as well as the environment variables. The following video will show you how to set up and run the jobs.
