LT Browser vs. WebdriverIO

I think LT Browser is one of the best programs I know to perform performance, usability, and experience tests on websites because it has a wide range of tools for this purpose; in addition, I consider that its price is affordable for professionals or freelancers with little income as well as for large companies that want the best tools, best of all, is that Lamdatest offers a free plan for students and I think LT Browser is also a very good tool for learning. On the other hand, and being quite honest, I can't find scenarios where LT Browser is not suitable in its area of application or what this software is specialized in.

Best suited where frontend developments are in React and where BDD and TDD test frameworks are to be used. Its syntax is very easy to write and understand. Even the non-programmer can do the initial setup. Not suited when the language you are using is other than Javascript(or Typescript).

• LT Browser is to create, test and debug multiple web and mobile sites.
• Ideal for finding code errors and share bugs through our favorite project management/bug tracking tools, like Jira, Asana, GitHub, etc.
• LT Browser works fine, saves a lot of time in testing.

• numerous integrations to tools
• fast easy location of page elements
• tool setup is amazing - they have a script to walk you through everything with prompts!!

• Geolocation feature is not present
• We can test on only two devices side by side. It should be more than two.
• Only 30 minutes access in free plan

• wdio.conf can contain too much where everything is encapsulated there, like the before and after functions
• A data provider-like testing would be useful. The only way to input different data into the same test is via a loop
• everything is needed to be done using the 'browser' object. Can be limiting where you don't have access to the browser depending on where you are in the code

One such product that my team eagerly anticipates testing for responsiveness is the LT Browser. The team has discovered that it is a straightforward process to test on the newest mobile devices utilizing the LT Browser. We may start testing our web pages on local systems by simply adding the URL. LT Browser's native developer tools enable us to make modifications to our code right away. It has a pre-installed selection of well-known devices and can operate in simulated mode.

Other tools we selected don't work in our application, it does or doesn't support multiple frames or need more tweaking just to make it works. When testing out WebdriverIO it just works as expected, no need to do such walk around to make it works multiple frames. It also can handle multiple tabs and windows.

• Too many updates. And whenever you update you have to log in again
• I remember it used to crash one or twice in a week initially. Though it is much less frequent now.

• It helped in cross browser testing
• It helped in automating multiple browsers at a time.
• Code coverage is optimum as this supports Javascript(Typescript)
