Integrated framework with Web + API + DB + File handling and more with page object design pattern
Using this framework one can confidently build an E2E test framework from ground zero
Uses Async mode which has LONG TERM SUPPORT
Cucumber(BDD), Cross-browser testing and GitHub Actions and more
Logger and global reporter that makes easier to debug and fix tests and produce accurate test report
Tips and tricks to overcome different project implementation challenges
Why Webdriverio?
It's becoming common to adopt to a Node.js based test framework in many organisations due to having "one team one language" concept where most of the modern web and backend services are built using JavaScript and Node.js and therefore there is a flexibility to extend unit tests and integrate with CI/CD pipeline seamlessly - For all these reasons, Webdriver IO is a great choice for automating integration/E2E tests.
WebdriverIO(also known as WDIO) is the established test framework for Node.js. It has got powerful runner that supports Cucumber, Mocha and Jasmine and loaded with many features that makes easier to use.
WDIO can be run on WebDriver or Chrome DevTools Protocol - this means it has a full control over all browser elements to interact with. It is highly extendable that makes easier to automate E2E tests, not just web.
Is automating web application just enough?
It’s hard to find a project that just automates only web applications, the scope of automation is widen to integrate Web with API, database and files and even more. If this is what you are looking for, you have landed in the right place. This course is having everything you need to know to build an highly extensible integrated framework that can accomodate different applications components.
