Who is using Nightwatch - add yourself to the list

[beatfactor]

We are very curious to learn about where Nightwatch is being used and the ways it is being used. Please feel free to either open a new discussion in the Showcase category or post in the comments and write a few lines to about your project, so others (especially new users) can be inspired.

Things to include:

• name of your company/organisation and/or project
• how long have you been using Nightwatch for
• if possible, include a paragraph or two with details such as your test architecture, how many test suites, engineers in your team working with Nightwatch, and any other code/config samples you are willing to share.

Many thanks!

At National Public Radio (NPR) we’ve used it as part of our CI pipeline for a little over 2 years. We use it in combination with Jenkins and BrowserStack. We currently have upwards of 120 tests and are writing more everyday. We love it! Thanks for all the good work!

[Akshaya0309]

At DePersgroep we are using NghtwatchAPI for UI test cases . And I combined axios to check endpoints.
I have smoke tests(UI), regression(UI and API) and smoke API on different stages of jenkins pipeline. Its integrated with browserstack and written in BDD

[EmidioStani]

At PwC Belgium we have been using it for testing web applications developed for data standardization, at the same time to automate such applications to perform ETL processes, thus implicitly checking if the applications were working still properly

Thanks for all your hard work!

This could very well be used as an example project, along with other open-source projects that will hopefully turn up here :).

At Shaadi.com , using it since v0.9 for 1.5 yrs . Around 200+ scenarios. We have a team of 5 engineer maintaining it . All love how easy it is to use. Many are manual tester turned into automation engineer, they found the functional approach much simpler than traditional OOP (Java & selenium).

I'm using nightwatchJS since 2017. I used to write my tests with async code and cucumber intercalation (nightwatch-cucumber and nightwatch-api for now). I wrote more then 300 scenarios myself and covered UI and back side on the 3 projects with the different level complexity (drop-downs, frames, different uploads and use lots of execute JS code). I wrote my own collectors, commands and use OOP model as max as I can with ES 6+. Also I created specific methods for collect and reuse locators with using pattern like data-test attribute for quick and easy support my test on the current status. The most expected feature for me - it's TS support and official version for tests, Angular support end opportunity of using nightwatch with BDD style feature files without any extended resources.
I created pipelines with TeamCity and Jenkins.

1. We're one of the teams working at NWEA and we use it for a rich-UI project.
2. Almost two years of using Nightwatch.
3. We wired up Nightwatch to Cucumber and that is executed by Jenkins for branch builds. We run 273 scenarios (equivalent to test cases in other suites). This was with a team of 6 engineers and 2 QA. We have other teams here, but I think we're mostly the only ones using Nightwatch currently. There's been a push for Cypress at the organization but I suspect that'll change when our team adds an additional browser to our suite for relatively little cost.

As an additional note, we really enjoyed a stability improvement when we upgrade to 1.x.

Thanks for all the hard work!

At Booking.com we use Nightwatch extensively to test both our main website but also a lot of our internal tooling.

The company has been using Nightwatch for a couple of years now, since before I joined. Personally I started using Nightwatch back in 2015 while I was working in another company.

We have Nightwatch tests running in Gitlab CI. Most of our Software Quality Specialists and a large part of our Frontend & Fullstack developers are contributing to writing Nightwatch tests.

A big kudos to @beatfactor who built and has maintained this all these years! We've recently upgraded to v1 and, now that we are up to date, I look forward to more of our people contributing to this project that we rely on.

The Drupal project has been using Nightwatch since 8.6 (May 2018), added to replace our primary browser testing method using PHP/PhantomJS which frequently crashed on our CI platform. It allows Drupal themers and front-end developers, working primarily with HTML / CSS / JavaScript, to now write tests for page interactions and JavaScript in JavaScript itself.

[baffaman]

Mentor, A Siemens Business uses Nightwatch as main automation framework. We have been using it for about 3 years now. 3 QA Engineers uses Nightwatch to automate tests for all Mentor web application. We are running our tests on Browserstack and uses TeamCity as for CI.

Thanks @beatfactor for your contributions!

[jd-harden-ware2go]

Ware2Go, a UPS owned company, is using NightWatch for our UI automation. I was looking at the GitHub forum here: (mucsi96/nightwatch-cucumber#12) for the tool and have a question. Has the issue about keeping browser sessions open been addressed or reopened? What are some solutions for this?

[hpavanatti]

We use it at Betha Sistemas, a leader in public administration software in Brazil.

We have been using Nightwatch for almost a year. Combined with nightwatch and cucucumber, we have over 2,000 scenarios in over 15 systems in our portfolio(growing), all running in the git lab CI daily. We have an engineer helping, an automation tester leader and all the startup testers helping.

[abu-wizata]

Wizata, a Luxembourgish startup. We use it for automating API and UI tests on a Microsoft Azure stack. We've been using Nightwatch for about ~6 months.

[MicahLC]

We've been using it at Zappos.com for 8 months (we were using Java/Selenium/TestNG before).

We have 28 test suites right now, but that number is growing daily 😄 . We're using it in combination with Jenkins Pipelines, Docker, and BrowserStack to execute in our CI/CD environment. We've got about a dozen team members writing Nightwatch tests. Hoping to write up a blog post soon™️ on our efforts.

Zupit SRL (zupit.it)

• We have been using nightwatch for about 6 months now, for validating forms that citizens can use to make requests to the public administration system. Nightwatch makes sure that there are no regressions in forms that could lead to invalid requests

• We run nightwatch using a Jenkins pipeline, and exploit the junit reports output as well as screenshots

• There are three persons in the team working on this project

[tarheeldobe]

• Using for about 1 year to run automated UI testing of gov website
• One developer/tester
• Running manually on localhost and testing websites
• Gradually building out scripts to fully automate process

[Topperfalkon]

At Rightmove, the UK's leading property portal, we're migrating some of our UI tests away from another test framework to Nightwatch. We picked Nightwatch as our preferred framework about 4 months ago, and have started migrating some of our tests over in some of our teams, as well as integrating it with our pipeline using Jenkins and BrowserStack.
We particularly like the ease of configuring multiple test environments and the ability to easily run them in parallel, and we also found Nightwatch to perform faster than our existing framework.

[paveltk]

1. https://www.codevog.com/
2. 1 year+
3. Our regression suite for one of the projects has 100+ test cases with many assertions in each, no CI for now, but we are planning to use Bitbucket Pipelines. One automation QA is writing / supporting them (it's me).

[jtheodore-rent]

At RentPath, we have used NightwatchJS for 3 years to support our development for both https://www.apartmentguide.com and https://www.rent.com. Every pull request is fully tested using headless containers on Saucelabs where the full suite is run. In addition, we have nightly runs against multiple browser and device emulators to test both the desktop and mobile versions of our application. Both the CD and nightly runs are triggered automatically through Jenkins. Between the two sites, we have over 1,000 tests in total. This allows us to release each application with a high degree of confidence in our code multiple times per week.

[Centre-de-tests]

At Credit Agricole (Paris)(bank), we use NightwatchJS to verify if main applications are running smoothly on our dev&testing environments. We release each type of tests every 15 min using Jenkins. We started at the end of 2017 with 0.8 version and are now used to it, but find it difficult to move to current version.

[MadelineFrederick]

I have been using NightwatchJS for regression testing about 3.5 years on small and huge projects. Just changing the launch_url test setting at nightwatch.json allows me to point to where the build is currently at from beta through prod. This has worked out well as the only tester on a small team allowing more time for exploratory testing on new items/fixes, along with the manual eyes on for new items/fixes the moment they go to prod.

[ajpetersons]

We are using Nightwatch as one of (currently) two core frameworks in Loadero tool developed by TestDevLab. Loadero is a SaaS web app automation tool that allows running E2E load and performance tests. An engineer would write a Nightwatch or TestUI (Java) web automation script and Loadero scales that script and hosts the infrastructure for the test execution. Nightwatch was historically the first automation framework supported by Loadero for about two years now.
