Summary
In this chapter, we installed many of the tools required to begin coding a robust test automation framework. We enhanced our browser with two extensions to ease element-locator creation and handle cookies. The Node.js environment was installed with npm and a code repository folder was created. The Visual Studio Code IDE was installed with tools for static code analysis and code formatting, and we provided detailed information about when the code was modified and by whom.
In the next chapter, we will install WebdriverIO and begin to explore the folder structure of the WebdriverIO TypeScript framework project.
