Lifesize UI Automation

What is this thing?

This is a UI Automation framework to test the new Lifesize Cloud clients (React Web and Electron Desktop). It uses webdriver.io as our driver to control the browsers. It follows the page object design pattern for organization as well as implements the concept of controllers and clients for abstracting code away from the tests themselves. Tests are written in the mocha framework.

• Webdriver.io (Selenium wrapper) for driving browser.
