Could you provide some insights on why utilizing a JS framework like webdriverio
is preferred for front end automation over using Selenium with popular languages like Java or Ruby?
I understand that webdriverio
and JS employ an asynchronous approach to front end automation testing, which can be advantageous for handling AJAX calls and APIs in the background. However, I am interested in specific examples and code samples illustrating why using Java may not be as efficient or user-friendly compared to JS. Despite my research efforts, I have not been able to find a clear explanation showcasing the advantages of JS over Java specifically for front end automation, unless there are minimal differences between the two.
