BitBar vs. WebdriverIO

CrossBrowserTesting is a great tool to use when you have a new page or new content that you want to test on an array of devices/browsers. In the diverse online world nowadays, it is nearly impossible to ensure optimization for every case. CBT allows you to get closer to that goal.

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!

• Test Continuously With CI/CD Integrations.
• Selenium and Appium test automation.
• Generate multiple screenshots of the same interface from different devices, operating systems, and browsers at once.
• Run visual comparisons of the same web page on the same browser or mobile device from a previous test session.
• Show layout differences.

• 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.

• Test case support is somewhat limited in customization ability.
• Not a unique problem to them (or their 'fault'), but content behind VPN or intranet cannot be scanned.
• Pricing with tier level and features can sometimes be confusing (ie. what is and what is not included).

Incentivized

• 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.

Selenium: 1. Selenium is Open source tool 2. Needs proper framework development and integration with multiple 3rd party tools 3. Not much secure 4. Needs scripting knowledge for people working on it 5. takes time and effort CrossBrowser Testing: 1. Licensed , so secure 2. Less time , less effort 3. Quick results 4. No scripting language knowledge needed 5. More coverage 6. Without any framework creation also we can test on multiple devices/browsers

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

Incentivized

• I would say mostly positive for the service they offer
• Negative is how much time you will need to do this testing

Incentivized

• 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
