TestingBot vs. WebdriverIO

Before, I received a lot of bad feedback from my users because my site was not compatible with certain browsers and operating systems. but now with TestingBot I can automatically test my website with the most used systems and fix these bugs and avoid losing customers. TestingBot integrates with the most popular continuous integration platforms such as Jenkins, TeamCity, GitHub Actions, and more. The browser and device grid are compatible with Selenium, Appium, Cypress, and other frameworks.

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!

• Automatically test my website on many browsers and operating systems.
• Generate a video for each test.
• Test my site live and manually on any browser and OS from the cloud.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Add other frameworks such as Symfony for PHP.

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.

I chose TestingBot because it is easier to install on my site as well if you compare it with other testing services that I have known. Also, the live interactive testing is very fluid with TestingBot which was not the case with the other tools.

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

• Reduce bugs on my website UI.
• Adapt the UI of my site to as many systems/OS/devices as possible.

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
