LightBDD vs WebdriverIO comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between LightBDD and WebdriverIO?

	LightBDD https://github.com/LightBDD/LightBDD	WebdriverIO https://webdriver.io/
Programming language	.NET	JavaScript
Category	Acceptance Testing	Browser Automation, Unit Testing, Functional Testing
General info	LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable tests LightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them	WebdriverIO is the next-gen WebDriver test framework for Node.js made upon Selenium WebdriverIO is written in JavaScript and uses Selenium under the hood. It also comes with its own inbuilt test runner and supports other testing frameworks like Jasmine, Cucumber, and Mocha
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No No, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie.	Yes
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD	Yes WebdriverIO allows the use of advanced CSS selectors and makes it easy to find elements for front-end testing
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD	Yes It can be used to test server side behaviour and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class.	Yes WebdriverIO supports the creation of fixtures
Group fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests.	Yes Group fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class	Yes WebdriverIO supports the creation of group fixtures
Generators Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way.	N/A	N/A

Mocks Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed)	Yes Mocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq	Yes It contains a mocking service called 'wdio-wiremock-service'
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites	Yes WebdriverIO allows one to build test suites, you can run these test in parallel and organize them by adjusting the 'maxInstances' property in your config file
