Collaborating with Front-end Developers using WebdriverIO

Can you turn front-end developers in to front-end testers? Pairing up with your front-end teammates promotes functional testing through all phases of development. And, by writing your tests using WebdriverIO, your front-end team will find test writing fun and intuitive.

Some of your biggest allies are unaware of their value.

For years, front-end developers have dealt with the pain of browser-based bugs and the difficulty of testing. They're itching for some sort of help, but all they've been taught is that Selenium is all Java. The have the skills to write test automation, just not the support.

Now is the time to team up with your front-end developer peers. WebdriverIO offers a familiar way for these developers to write automated tests across various devices and resolutions.

In this talk, I'll prepare you to team up with them by teaching:

  • Who front-end developers are and what makes WebdriverIO special for them
  • How pairing front-end developers with QA testers greatly benefits both sides
  • How to sell management on the benefits of this model

As a front-end developer, I'm now a huge fan of writing automated functional tests. It's just habit now to teaming up with my QA team and help improve browser automation. I'm now a front-end tester!
