Cloud Based Test Machines Unable to Access Locally Hosted Applications

Cloud based Test Labs

Platforms like Testsigma, Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, etc. provide you with a fully-maintained lab of test machines for cross-browser and device testing. These test machines are hosted on their cloud networks. If your application under test is not publicly available you will not be able to run tests on these machines.

Follow the below steps to test locally hosted applications on our cloud:

1. If your application is deployed only on your local machine and is not publicly accessible, for example, http://localhost:8080
   • This is a locally hosted application. No one else can access it via the internet.
   • For more information, refer to the documentation on running your tests for locally hosted applications.
2. If your application is behind a firewall, you still have an option to use tunneling mechanisms to connect your application to Testsigma.
   • To do this, first, contact your IT team and then contact Testsigma Support.
   • For any more details on how to access local URLs via Testsigma, please contact Testsigma Support at support@testsigma.com
