Perfecto has been in business for a long time and they are the tried and tested platform and provide a wide variety of integrations to achieve test automation.
Chose Perfecto by Perforce
Perfecto mobile is slightly better because it has the cloud setup perfectly. This was the main reason we selected it over others. We can trigger the same set of scripts on multiple OS versions and devices. There are some limitations there that can be improved that will really …

WebdriverIO
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 …

A wide variety of real devices over cloud makes the mobile testing very efficient. Perfecto has a very good automation platform and also has good integration with the open-source tool set.

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!

  • Nothing in particular
Read full review
  • 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.

  • 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
