Chose mabl
We ultimately selected mabl cause it most met our needs and our budget. We needed a low code UI automation test tool. We also have a suite of existing testing tools and other tools that it needed to be able to integrate with. Price was the only thing that ruled out some of the …

Chose WebdriverIO
Stands out as a clear leader. The fact that there are so many integrations and the simplicity of writing code should make you want to select WebdriverIO. However, the full-feature nature of this framework is what sets it apart. I hope to be able to get this framework going soon!

Chose WebdriverIO
1. WebdriverIO is used for automating both browsers and native mobile apps.
2. Selenium is being used on most of the languages except JavaScript (TypeScript) and our front-end development is in Reactjs

Chose WebdriverIO
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 …

We haven't found a scenario yet where it hasn't been appropriate. We did have one function on our application that mabl couldn't do, but they solved it and got back to us very quickly. Our application is web-based and mabl is able to handle this very easily. We use the command line runner a lot. Being able to easily and quickly change from a cloud based run to a local run has been fantastic. Setting up flows and environments is a wonderful feature

I haven't seen a use case that WDIO can't cover, even including integrations into performance/load testing and mobile! The fact that there are boilerplate projects and code examples galore make it so simple to understand and see real-world PoCs of concepts you need to understand. I highly recommend WDIO!

  • Tasks written in this can only be debugged using the provided WDIO task runner
  • We cannot set breakpoints within tasks but have WDIO pause the run between commands.
  • It is not as customized as Protractor.
  • It deviates from generic syntax which may confuse selenium developers having knowledge of other languages.

We ultimately selected mabl cause it most met our needs and our budget. We needed a low code UI automation test tool. We also have a suite of existing testing tools and other tools that it needed to be able to integrate with. Price was the only thing that ruled out some of the above tools, we are a small start up, and don't have a huge budget. Some tools listed didn't have the same functionality or ease of use with the record and playback. mabl works on our machines and integrates with our existing tools

  • Gives easy access to Saucelabs Devices and VMs to the frontend developers who don't have to fiddle around with connection to Saucelabs itself - so ROI on Saucelabs as webdriverIO is free
  • The small learning curve to actually get set up and running - our working framework was written in a few days
