This, in turn, affects the production and causes a delay in release. So it is crucial to use a Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery tool with Selenium to automate the tests continuously. According to the recent survey by Atlassian – 75 percent of production teams face bugs, glitches, or delays at release time.

Hey Charity,

NightwatchJs does support mobile app automation, but since LambdaTest does not provide support for Nightwatch JS, you can not run an app automation test on LambdaTest.

To perform mobile app automation, tools like Appium are commonly used. LambdaTest itself is well-known for cross-browser testing of web applications but does not directly support mobile app automation with Nightwatch.js.

If you have any queries feel free to reach out to us.
