Running Real Devices Tests on Sauce Labs

Sauce Labs has unified the Sauce Labs Virtual Platform (app.saucelabs.com) and Sauce Labs Legacy Real Device Platform (app.testobject.com), under one platform - app.saucelabs.com, allowing customers to use the best of both worlds, Virtual Platforms like Emulators and Simulators, Desktop Web and Real Devices, under one unified platform, including shared APIs, endpoints, reporting, secure tunnels, analytics, etc.
