What is it?

WebdriverIO is a test automation framework for Node.js that drives browsers and mobile apps. It runs tests over the W3C WebDriver and WebDriver BiDi protocols, as well as Appium for native mobile automation, and covers end-to-end, unit and component testing in the browser.

The framework works with popular BDD and TDD runners, including Mocha, Jasmine and Cucumber. Tests can run locally or on cloud device and browser services such as Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, TestingBot and TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest).

The repository is a monorepo that holds the core packages, the test runner, framework adapters, reporters such as Allure, JUnit and HTML, and a set of services for Appium and cloud providers.
