The exponential adoption of IT technologies over the past several decades has had a profound impact on organizations of all sizes. Whether it is a small, medium, or large enterprise, the need to create web applications while managing an extensive set of data effectively is high on every CIO’s priority list. As a result, there has been an ongoing effort to implement better approaches to software development, data analysis, and data management.

How to automate big data governance

Companies deploying big data analytics to gain competitive advantage can quickly sour their successes by lacking a big data governance strategy. Which turns their data assets into data liabilities. In this article, we dive into the field of information governance and information management and explore how to set up and automate a big data governance program for success.

Setup Sauce Connect for Saucectl

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.

Run a Cypress Test with Sauce Connect

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.

Test a Local App with Cypress and Saucectl

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.
