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!

Cons
  • 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.

Alternatives Considered
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

Return on Investment
  • 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
