Playwright vs. WebdriverIO

Easy to code and help in sanity regression and functional test cases

I haven't seen a use case that WDIO can't cover, even including integrations into performance/load testing and mobile! The fact that there are boilerplate projects and code examples galore make it so simple to understand and see real-world PoCs of concepts you need to understand. I highly recommend WDIO!

• Quick start when running the test, easy to maintain the framework.
• Faster and has vast community support on the internet.
• No need to Build an Automation framework from scratch.
• Can be integrated with different services.

• bigger adoption
• mobile testing

• Tasks written in this can only be debugged using the provided WDIO task runner
• We cannot set breakpoints within tasks but have WDIO pause the run between commands.
• It is not as customized as Protractor.
• It deviates from generic syntax which may confuse selenium developers having knowledge of other languages.

It makes automating complex user interactions easier, fits right into our CI/CD for continuous testing, and works great across different browsers. The Documentation is a plus, you don't really need to search a lot to understand and find what you need for the coding. The community is small but very helpful, which makes it a breeze to use and a must-have for keeping our software in top shape.

We selected Playwright over the rest for several reasons. The learning curve is faster, making it easier for our team to get up to speed quickly. The setup is pretty straithtforwared, minimal configurartion needed and a great example included in the configuration which includes all the basics to start writing using that spec as a placeholder. Compared to Cypress, Playwright support multiple browsers out of the box, giving us broader testing coverage. Appium is great for mobile testing, but extremely slow.

1. WebdriverIO is used for automating both browsers and native mobile apps. 2. Selenium is being used on most of the languages except JavaScript (TypeScript) and our front-end development is in Reactjs

• Reduce of cost of manual testers
• Reduce of released bugs
• Reduce of costs of developer time
• Increase QA Coverage

• Gives easy access to Saucelabs Devices and VMs to the frontend developers who don't have to fiddle around with connection to Saucelabs itself - so ROI on Saucelabs as webdriverIO is free
• The small learning curve to actually get set up and running - our working framework was written in a few days
