WebdriverIO is build to test various types of applications, from web or mobile applications towards native desktop apps or even VS Code extensions. But what about Chrome DevTools plugins? In this blog post we explore how one could interact with an extension build for Chrome Devtools.

We are thrilled to announce the latest update to the WebdriverIO Visual Testing module. This release brings two significant enhancements: making the Visual Testing Module a pure JS module and the introduction of a new CLI argument for automatic baseline updates.

We're excited to announce support for DOM and Visual snapshot tests using a common set of primitives supporting all testing environments WebdriverIO offers. Our vision has always been to provide a comprehensive, versatile testing tool that simplifies your workflow. This update is a step towards creating a 'Swiss Army Knife' for unit and visual testing, catering to diverse requirements across platforms and extending our support to native mobile applications, making your testing process more efficient and seamless.
