    Good for simple requests, simple scripts, assertions, and small workflows. Also not bad with the Open Source version if savvy with code as you can do a lot with custom functionality.Free version has limited compatibility with scripts/projects created from the Pro version, but functionality-wise can probably be made up with coding. As such, the free version may not be too suitable for complex scripts or for those who are not familiar with coding as functionality/usability may be limited.

    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).

    • I actually like SoapUI as it is, I have not found things to improve, except for the speed of response is very complex services.

    • 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

    Compared to SoapUI, we have been using "light" tools like RestClient extension in Firefox, or Postman. Compared to Postman, SoapUI is more simple for WSDL / SOAP webservices, as SoapUI generate all envelop, but Postman does not. For Rest API, I think that Postman is a little above SoapUI, but not too far away.

    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.

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