Execute WebdriverIO Testing On Cloud

WebdriverIO is an open-source test automation framework for automated browser testing using Node.js. It is compatible to work with Selenium as well and has out-of-the-box features to help write automated test scripts swiftly. Adding helper functions in WebDriverIO is really simple in WebDriverIO. Also, it can run both on WebDriver protocol and Chrome Devtools protocol, making it efficient for both Selenium Webdriver based cross browser testing or Chromium based automation. Since WebDriverIO is open source, you get a bunch of plugins for your automation needs.

Selenium has numerous advantages for test automation. It also supports recording and playback for testing web apps and can execute numerous scripts across various browsers.

Parallel testing is one of the best ways to cut down overall test execution time of the whole test build. If you have test builds of multiple tests, parallel testing at LambdaTest will allow you to run these Selenium webdiver tests across multiple machines simultaneously. so if you have a build of 100 tests, and are subscribed on 10 parallel testing plan, then you can run upto 10 test threads simultaneously across 10 machines. Running tests in parallel will cut down drastically your overall build test execution times.

The LambdaTest Automation Grid allows you to run end-to-end automation tests on a secure, robust, and scalable cloud-based infrastructure. You can perform automated browser testing with WebdriverIO across 3000+ browsers and operating systems using LambdaTest with a minor tweaks in your existing test scripts. All you need to define is a remote webdriver path, your LambdaTest username and access key in your code, along with the desired capabilities to trigger your WebdriverIO tests on the LambdaTest cloud.
