Sauce Labs Product Announcements

We are excited to announce that Sauce Labs now provides live and automated testing (Appium) capabilities for mobile app biometric authentication (fingerprint and face recognition) on Android real devices.

We’ve also enhanced the biometric authentication support on iOS real devices. (Note: contrary to Android, this is not part of our default settings - so go ahead and turn it on, and send us your feedback.)

How does this benefit you?

• Test your mobile apps that require biometric authentication on real Android and iOS devices without having a real person’s biometrics data stored on the device.
• Test authentication flows to unlock critical user journeys, including making monetary transactions or editing user information.
• Test your personalized user interactions to improve the login experience for app users, and much more.

How can you get started?

Visit our documentation and learn more about all you need to get set up with biometric authentication for your real device tests.

Happy Testing!
