Appium vs. TestProject vs. WebDriverIO vs. python-sql Comparison Chart

Appium is an open source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid and mobile web apps. It drives iOS, Android, and Windows apps using the WebDriver protocol. Appium is built on the idea that testing native apps shouldn't require including an SDK or recompiling your app. And that you should be able to use your preferred test practices, frameworks, and tools. Appium is an open source project and has made design and tool decisions to encourage a vibrant contributing community. Appium aims to automate any mobile app from any language and any test framework, with full access to back-end APIs and DBs from test code. Write tests with your favorite dev tools using all the above programming languages, and probably more (with the Selenium WebDriver API and language-specific client libraries).

WebdriverIO allows you to automate any application written with modern web frameworks such as React, Angular, Polymeror Vue.js as well as native mobile applications for Android and iOS. WebdriverIO not only runs automation based on the WebDriver protocol, it also leverages native browser APIs to enable integrations to popular developer tools such as Chrome DevTools orGoogle Lighthouse. With the plugin you have access to commands for validating if you app is a valid PWA application as well as to commands for capturing frontend performance metrics such as speedIndex and others. The WebdriverIO testrunner comes with a command line interface that provides a nice configuration utility that helps you to create your config file in less than a minute. It also gives an overview of all available 3rd party packages like framework adaptions, reporter and services and installs them for you!
