In the Cypress docs they states (under the "Sauce Labs" subsection):
Cypress’s API is written to be completely compatible with Sauce Labs, even though our API is not Selenium based at all. We will be offering better integration with Sauce Labs in the future.
I take this to mean that there is a way to run Cypress tests in Sauce Labs but with some limitations. But I can't find instructions on how to achieve this.
Does anyone know if this is possible yet? And if so... where could I find info on setting it up?
It seems SauceLab's support of Cypress is not ready yet:
We currently don't support Cypress at this time, but it is recommended to upvote the following feature request in our Customer Idea Portal, where our Product team directly reviews input from our customers and prioritizes what will be implemented next based on demand.

There's currently an open beta for the Sauce Labs Testrunner Toolkit, which is intended to integrate with quite a few popular browser automation tools, including Cypress. It's in open beta so we can gather feedback and help ensure it meets developers' needs.
The toolkit works as a Docker-based solution for fast setup, and it ships logs and videos up to our cloud so sharing test assets with your team works just like it does for hosted tests.
You can find out more in the docs.

We are experimenting with test automation and have found that cucumber-jvm/espresso fits the best. Our next issue is finding a testing service that supports the framework. To run the tests we are currently running 'gradlew connectedCheck' at the command line but from what I have read, AWS Device Farm doesn't support cucumber-jvm/espresso. Any service should work, so long as it supports cucumber-jvm and has a variety of physical devices to test on.
I am hoping that someone out here has experience with this and knows where we should look.
Thanks
Is it necessary to use Cucumber along with Espresso in that case? You can always implement an entire test suite without the need of Cucumber. All you need is a good reporting tool to report you the passes and failures. There are plenty of solutions out there -- I would recommend using something like Spoon or Composer to run your tests in parallel on multiple devices or emulators or a combination of both. Both of these tools provide decent reporting. As far as a device farm is considered, AWS will support that.
I have been learning perfecto mobile cloud through the self-guided online training offered by perfecto. Even I registered and used the trial period of two hours and got some hands-on experience.
Now I would like to get some hands-on with Perfecto-UFT integration. I understand that the free trial account does not qualify for accessing Perfecto from UFT.
But still I would like to know, is there any other way I could be able to work on Perfecto-UFT integration without a fee?
You can not integrate both without paying for that.
You need to understand both the tools are proprietary and not open-sourced. So whenever you'll try to integrate them, it will try to validate the licenses and as you don't have it, you won't be able to integrate.
There are so many other features which are not available in free version. Check this link for more info.
Being that Meteor on Windows does not currently support Velocity/Jasmine, I would like to use a cloud-based solution for running Meteor with Velocity. But so far I have not had success. I have tried Nitrous, Codeanywhere, Koding, and Cloud9.
I also use the Meteor Windows Preview and the same issue. See my SO: Easiest way to create mobile apps on official Meteor for Windows
I had the additional constraint that I want to compile Mobile Apps which is currently not supported by the Windows Preview.
I've not had success with cloud-based solutions either beyond very basic test apps. The whole chain is just too fragile, there's often something you need to configure that you can't get at in a cloud solution. Basically, your options are:
Vagrant
Dual-boot (thanks #sbking)
Buy a Mac
I would recommend 3 because it will save you time (and therefore money). The first 2 are fiddly, just adding more sys admin work when we should all be coding :)
ALTERNATIVELY
Switch testing tools to Laika. See related SO: Laika vs Velocity on meteor TDD
Laika (apparently) still works for the moment, even though it is no longer officially supported. I will be using it for my current project in the next few weeks.
I'd be really interested to hear what solution you go for.
At the risk of offering you a pocket-knife when you want a power-tool, there is a meteor package, jasmine-green, that does not require Velocity and therefore works well with Cloud9. While this means that you would not have the full capabilities of a velocity-based jasmine or mocha package, it is a lot better than nothing. Just type:
meteor add fongandrew:jasmine-green
It might be a stopgap while you find a better long-run solution.
Some years ago I´ve tried to work with BDD and some tools of Acceptance tests, like Selenium/Web-driver, Fitnesse and JBehave.
I´d like to back to work with that in my current project, so I would like to know what the community is using of tools to perform that!
My project is based on Java.
Acceptance tests tools ?
BDD tools?
Should I consider a scripting language ?
The most successful teams are using conversations and not worrying too much about the tools!
Having said that, here are a few Java BDD tools that are in use in the community:
JBehave* (still)
Cucumber for the JVM (I don't think it's been as maven-ized as JBehave)
Fitnesse (though I recommend putting "Slim" behind it instead of "Fit")
Custom DSLs (it's not that hard).
Selenium is still the automation tool of choice for Java and the web.
*I helped write JBehave. One reason we got into it in the first place was because the acceptance tests we saw using scripts were such an astonishing mess. Meh. Also, you can't collaborate with the business or have conversations about scripts. I strongly recommend having conversations first**, then worrying about the tools!
** If you're working on your own, buy a rubber duck.
I strongly recommend spockframework + Geb. You need groovy support though. We have lot of tests running as part of CI every night. The reports are in junit format (being enhanced to be used by business users soon) and hence can be published to servers like Hudson or Sonar.
I'm in the process of researching testing options for .Net development particularly ASP.Net.
What testing tools do you swear by? NUnit, Selenium, RhinoMocks are my current apps in my toolbox but what do others have to offer for a more complete testing coverage?
No budget
I swear by NUnit, Selenium and then a number of other little tools like YSlow, Firebug
I did a talk at Google Test Automation Conference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQgDDAan4rM where I show how you can mix Selenium, NUnit and Yslow to get an idea of how the user is experiencing the system.
I have started using JsTestDriver as well and think that is really good for unit testing JavaScript The video from the same conference is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDKGGZv-T4M
All of those are free and most are open source
Kzu and friends have a new pet project called Moq, which may be the coolest derivative open source project name ever. -Scott Hanselman
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/MoqLinqLambdasAndPredicatesAppliedToMockObjects.aspx
Haven't gotten around to trying Moq out yet but I've seen Hanselman talk about it in a couple of his blog posts, probably worth checking it out.
