A brief introduction to test automation covering different automation approaches, when to automate and by whom, commercial vs. open source tools, testability, and so on.
WebdriverIO allows controlling browsers using code and integrates with BDD frameworks like Cucumber and Mocha. It manages Selenium and supports various browsers. Tests are written with Gherkin feature files, step definitions convert these to code, and page objects represent page elements. The browser API allows interacting with pages by URL, waiting for elements, clicking, and more. Challenges include maintaining matching versions as browsers and drivers update.
