Topic of the session
Simplify complex user actions with new WebdriverIO commands

Project

WebdriverIO

Describe the session
Let's add some new commands to the WebdriverIO API that simplifies user interactions with arbitrary mobile and web applications. Such commands could be: swipeUp, swipeDown, dragAndDrop or pinchZoom.

Additional context (optional)
The WebDriver protocol provides an action command that allows complex interactions (e.g. pinch, drag&drop etc) with the application. A similar command also exists for automating mobile apps called touchAction. Using these commands is often difficult as it requires understanding what kind of parameters are required to achieve a certain action.
