Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Development of mobile application requires testing the application on different API Levels (OS Versions) and devices. It will be great in case this testing can be based on cloud providers that allow running the application on real devices.
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently the unit tests are run only on attached devices, but it will be great in case it is possible to run them in cloud provider, like Sauce Labs. I imagine having a flag to tns test command that specify the tests should be run in Sauce Labs.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Integration of other cloud providers, even those who allow using emulator - Appetize for example.
Additional context
As CLI uses karma to run the unit tests, it could benefit of using karma-sauce-launcher.

Research direction
Start by tracing the tns test command and its Karma-based unit-test configuration. Review how karma-sauce-launcher would fit the existing test flow and define the flag and Sauce Labs configuration it needs. Done means unit tests can be selected and run on Sauce Labs devices without breaking local-device testing.
