Notes

From T324857: The Web App Testing Guidebook (pdf version).

Page 76:

  • It’s easier to write (in my opinion, you’re welcome to disagree)
  • You get better error messages
  • It automatically retries failed assertions

Page 79:

One final note for now on this. Aside from the WebdriverIO specific assertions expect-webdriverio
adds, you also gain access to the built-in ExpectJS assertions.
