Leading Test Automation Platform, Sauce Labs, Powers Development for 300,000+ Active Users with Unprecedented Performance and Scale on iOS 18

Sauce Labs Inc., the leading platform for continuous quality, today announced the general availability of iOS 18 testing on its Virtual Device Cloud (VDC). This move addresses the critical need for timely testing support driven by Apple’s transition to its proprietary Apple Silicon architecture and the rapid adoption rate of new iOS versions.

 

Benchmark Tests Show Improved Performance

 

Benchmark tests conducted by Sauce Labs show up to 65% faster session start times and up to 40% faster test execution speeds for iOS 18 simulations compared to earlier versions of the platform.

 

  • Session start times improved by up to 65%
  • Test execution speeds improved by up to 40%

 

These performance improvements are a significant boost to development teams, allowing them to execute tests up to 40% faster compared to previous versions of the platform.

 

Staying Ahead in the Mobile Landscape

 

“Staying ahead in the mobile landscape means testing where your users are – and Apple users adopt new operating systems faster than anyone,” said Shubha Govil, Chief Product Officer of Sauce Labs. “We are committed to providing the latest to empower developers and QA teams, and our investment to support scalable iOS 18 testing underscores that.”

 

With Sauce Labs’ support for iOS 17.5 and iOS 18 simulators, development and QA teams can achieve comprehensive test coverage for the latest Apple operating systems, identify and fix bugs earlier in the development cycle, and deliver smooth, reliable app performance with each iOS update.
