DevOps teams in need of an end-to-end testing solution for web applications and websites
About Nightwatch.js
Nightwatch.js is an integrated, easy to use End-to-End testing solution for web applications and websites, written in Node.js. It uses the W3C WebDriver API to drive browsers and perform commands and assertions on DOM elements. Simple but powerful syntax which enables you to write tests very quickly, using Javascript (Node.js) and CSS or Xpath selectors. Typescript is supported as well. Built-in command-line test runner which runs the tests either sequentially or in parallel, with retries and implicit waits. Also supports grouping of test suites and tags. Manages automatically Selenium or WebDriver services (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver, Edge, Safari) in a separate child process. Fluent and easy to work with Page Object Model support to better organise elements and sections, with support for both CSS or Xpath selectors.

UI-licious
Stop writing brittle tests with hard-coded CSS, XPATH selectors and waits. Write tests that are meaningful to people, effortless to maintain, and reusable. The reason for this is because writing your tests using hard-coded CSS and XPATH selectors is like pouring concrete onto a specific UI implementation. This creates very high-maintenance tests that break at the slightest changes to the UI and are very hard for humans to read. UI-licious uses dynamic code analysis to understand the structure of your website based on the use of semantic HTML and ARIA accessibility attributes, as well as context of the previous commands, to identify which is the intended element to target for every command. This means that even if the HTML code for the UI changes underneath the code, the test is valid as long as the user journey remains the same. That said, your website doesn't to be written perfectly for UI-licious to work.
