TestingBot vs. WebdriverIO

Before, I received a lot of bad feedback from my users because my site was not compatible with certain browsers and operating systems. but now with TestingBot I can automatically test my website with the most used systems and fix these bugs and avoid losing customers. TestingBot integrates with the most popular continuous integration platforms such as Jenkins, TeamCity, GitHub Actions, and more. The browser and device grid are compatible with Selenium, Appium, Cypress, and other frameworks.

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).

• Automatically test my website on many browsers and operating systems.
• Generate a video for each test.
• Test my site live and manually on any browser and OS from the cloud.

Incentivized

• 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!!

• Add other frameworks such as Symfony for PHP.

• 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

I chose TestingBot because it is easier to install on my site as well if you compare it with other testing services that I have known. Also, the live interactive testing is very fluid with TestingBot which was not the case with the other tools.

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.

• Reduce bugs on my website UI.
• Adapt the UI of my site to as many systems/OS/devices as possible.

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