TestGrid vs. WebdriverIO

Easy navigation. Test Data Management. Flexible Supports for Automation Testing Sometimes it fails to connect to cloud devices or browsers

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).

• Low barrier to entry for beginner test engineer due to scriptless nature of test case
• Proficient test engineer could utilize CI/CD Integration
• Both Browser & Mobile Device Infrastructure Available Natively

• 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!!

Incentivized

• Can be slow in instances where multiple scripts and requests are running on a webpage plus the docs can also be improved

• 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

We frequently came across scenarios which were too cumbersome for manual testing & wanted an easy automation solution. We are now using TestGrid for those scenarios & are happy with the product.

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.

• we were looking for a remote infrastructure provider so that our remote team could use it for automation as well as manual testing.

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