Quick start
1Run `npx wdio config` to create a configuration file

3Configure your test runner using the `wdio.conf.js` file, specifying the browser and other settings
4Run your tests using `npx wdio run` command
5Use the `browser` object to interact with the browser and perform actions like clicking buttons or filling out forms
Ready-to-paste prompt
