Concurrency Usage Report

Sauce Labs Usage provides you with an accurate view of your concurrency data and lets you compare it to your subscription limit. Your team can cull, filter, and break this data down to best suit your needs. Check your usage of both Virtual Devices and Real Devices to understand your teams' testing patterns. Finding the right cross-section of data is easy and intuitive with a few actions like:

  • Visualizing the concurrency usage at organization level or by team level.
  • Compare concurrency usage between teams.
  • Adjust date-range filters to understand usage across time.
  • Visualize the maximum concurrency usage as it approaches the subscription limit.

Taking advantage of Suace Labs Usage data is simple. Log into Sauce Labs and from the left panel, expand the Insights section and select Usage.

How it Works​

Sauce Labs Usage reporting calculates the maximum concurrency during a given interval of time broken down by Month, Week, Day or Hour for each team with usage greater than zero during that period and presents the information using stacked bars to show how much each team contributed to that usage.

Available Views​

Total Concurrency Usage​

Total concurrency usage at organization level

In this view, the chart shows the total concurrency usage at an organization level compared to the subscription concurrency limit for each month. Each bar shows the maximum number of concurrent executions and adds them up to create the total usage.

It is possible that this chart shows values above the organization limit even when teams have not gone above their individual limit. To see the usage at team level, select the corresponding team in the dropdown from the filters.

VM Concurrency Usage​

VM concurrency usage at team level

Shows the total concurrency, aggregating all devices grouped by team. This information can be broken down by:

  • VM Concurrency: Shows the concurrent usage for tests executed on Linux Browsers, Windows Browsers and Android Emulators.
  • Mac VM Concurrency: Shows the concurrent usage for tests executed on Mac OS, Mac OSX and iOS Emulators.

Real Device Concurrency Usage​

Public and Private Real Devices

Public Device usage is generally available. Private Device usage will be generally available May 2024
