Espresso vs. WompMobile

• It is very easy to verify Images with drawable resources
• Color Verification we can do this by referring to the same hex code as the developer team used so that it is reused.
• Opening a desired activity without performing End-to-end flow which eventually saves time.
• If the application is built on Android we can go testing activity with Espresso as it provides all the necessary APIs
• Espresso is not appropriate to iOS app automation, from a business point of view we need to hire new resources for iOS testing.

At first look we were not sure if WompMobile was well suited for E-Commerce because they had very few examples of E-Commerce sites within their portfolio. We spoke with the team at WompMobile and those concerns were tossed right out the window. I can't think of any scenario where WompMobile would not be able to provide the right mobile solution.

• Automatic Waiting logic before failing any test
• Black box and Grey box testing
• Easy to Understand and Very Flexible
• Supported Java And Kotlin
• Fewer Efforts compare to other Mobile Automation Frameworks
• Execution is very Fast

• Delivery. On time delivery of design and updates.
• Access. Whenever we have a question or need something communication is immediate.
• Best practices. Our speed and SEO scores are outstanding. When Google changes algorithms our mobile site is already prepped for it.
• Maintenance. If assets pulled from our main site create problems on mobile we are informed right away.
• Improvements. WompMobile regularly investigates and offers improvements to functionality as the mobile space develops.

• As Espresso works on the ideal thread if the threads are not handled properly by the developing team it can lead to challenges in the execution of your tests.
• Depends more on the developer's code
• we cannot develop tests as individual frameworks, we share the repository with developers.
• We need to be cautious while making changes in the tests, as we share same repository

• Support Options. We struggled a bit with not having a 24x7 support option from WompMobile. Even though we haven't had to use it, and a global company like us would feel better with a 24x7 support option. We even expected to pay more to have that comfort for "just in case" scenarios. However, their speed in responding to your production issue has been phenomenal, and it makes you wonder if the current model is way better than a 24x7 support option where they might have to hire less costly labor who would take longer to resolve your issue.
• Test Environment. We struggled not having our test environment connected to their test environment. They have a test environment where they show you the changes, but it's not accessible through your test environment. It's a different concept.
• Reporting. WompMobile doesn't have a portal or dashboard for customers to see the hits and performance metrics of their site.

As our app is complete on Android Espresso is the best choice over Appium Fewer efforts in Espresso over Appium, as Espresso provides some built-in library to perform the operation. Easy to use, Espresso is very easy to understand and we can perform operations with very little code. Developers can contribute, as they have good command over Java and Kotin languages and also use Espresso for unit testing.

I have no basis of comparison. I stumbled upon WompMobile from a mention by This American Life (I think), and worked it out with them. Looked no further

• As it is an Open Source tool it cost-effective
• East to use, so that you can train many new Joiners to start delivering the tasks
• Maintainance is very low, as we depend on the developer's layout files we can reuse their elements
• We can cover most of the scenarios which helps in the coverage of the tests

• Our mobile site was pretty basic, but once WompMobile changed the site, we saw increased results across our site. Our site runs smoother than before, leading to more positive customer experiences.
• The site runs faster as well, allowing our customers to shop longer and quicker.
