It combines the robustness of Appium with the enhanced developer experience provided by Nightwatch. It enables end-to-end functional testing of native mobile apps on Android and iOS devices. Try it now\n\n## Go beyond E2E\n### [Component testing](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/component-testing/introduction.html)\n\nWith Nightwatch you can test components in isolation by mounting them in the browser. Nightwatch 2 added support for component testing for popular web frameworks such as\n\n1. [React](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/component-testing/testing-react-components.html)\n2. [VueJS](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/component-testing/vite-plugin.html)\n3. [Angular](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/component-testing/angular-component-testing.html)\n4. [Storybook](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/component-testing/storybook-component-testing.html)\n\n### Nightwatch unit tests\n\nThe tests for Nightwatch are written using Mocha.\n\n1. **Clone the project**\n\n ```bash\n git clone https://github.com/nightwatchjs/nightwatch.git\n\n # change directory\n cd nightwatch\n\n # install the dependencies\n npm install\n ```\n\n2. **Run tests**\n\n To run the complete test suite:\n\n ```bash\n npm test\n ```\n\n To check test coverage, run the command:\n\n ```bash\n npm run mocha-coverage\n ```\n\n and then open the generated coverage/index.html file in your browser.\n\nSee [Unit testing guide](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/writing-tests/write-nodejs-unit-integration-tests.html) for more details.\n\n### Other types of testing\n#### [Visual Regression Testing](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/writing-tests/visual-regression-testing.html)\n\nNightwatch v3 introduces visual regression testing as an in-house plugin. The plugin takes care of\n\n1. Capturing screenshots\n2. Comparison with baseline to highlight visual differences\n3. Report to review the differences\n4. Approve the changes\n\nVRT can be done on real desktop & mobile browsers. Also, VRT can be run on components as part of component testing as well.\n#### [API Testing](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/writing-tests/api-testing.html)\n\nAPI testing is now available with Nightwatch v3. The following functionality can be achieved with API testing\n\n1. Request assertions\n2. Response assertions\n3. Viewing API tests in the HTML report\n4. Mock server\n\n#### [Accessibility Testing](https://nightwatchjs.org/guide/using-nightwatch/accessibility-testing.html)\nNightwatch v3 packages the aXe-core package developed by Deque Systems as a plugin.
