A Robust, Modular UI Automation Framework with WebdriverIO

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

InterSystems builds a modular UI automation framework on WebdriverIO + Cucumber + TypeScript that runs in CI with Jenkins and Allure and supports its org-wide suites (≈5,000 Selenium tests for data platforms, ≈700 for HealthShare). Core features include constructor-based implicit page validation, a page stack for stateful back/forward navigation, custom commands like get and set universal and set properties for bulk element I/O, and a process-table validator for row/column checks; these reduce common flakiness and let tests navigate and validate reliably.
