Automate your testing with Nightwatch.js
summary
Live demo shows Nightwatch.js in Drupal 8.6 core running real end‑to‑end tests that assert page title, wait for elements, and click buttons; tests run locally or via Selenium + chromedriver + Docker or cloud services (Sauce Labs, BrowserStack). CI runs initially hit ~40 minutes but are trimmed to ~10 minutes for core suites. Upgrading jQuery surfaces issues—one run finds 3 real bugs—and test hooks produce logs, screenshots and video so automated checks reliably catch regressions.
