Casper VS Nightwatch VS Protrator

They all support for different unit test frameworks like (Jasmine, Mocha, Cucumber etc..) They all support good reporting mechanism (html, xml etc..)

• Casper: 6.6k ： It is written in Python, i.e. it is not a native Node.js solution.

  • It uses headless browser engines (PhantomJS or SlimerJS).
  • Tests run much faster compared to real browsers.

• Nightwatch: 6.6k

  • It is a custom implementation of W3C webdriver API, like WebDriverIO.
  • Its benefits include highly transparent and readable test code.
  • It needs to use waits in code while Protractor and TestCafe have built-in waiting mechanism.

• Protrator: 6.5k It is the only automation tool which has inbuilt support for AngularJS element
