About jBrowserDriver
jBrowserDriver is a programmable, embeddable web browser driver compatible with the Selenium WebDriver specification. It is headless, WebKit-based, and written in pure Java. The project is open source and licensed under the Apache License v2.0. To run jBrowserDriver from a remote Selenium server, start the remote Selenium server(s) and use the appropriate code to call jBrowserDriver remotely. For building from source, install and configure Maven v3.x and run mvn clean compile install from the project root. To use in Eclipse, either import the existing Java project from the root directory or import the Maven file. For usage, jBrowserDriver can be used like any other Selenium WebDriver or RemoteWebDriver and works with Selenium Server and Selenium Grid.

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.

Selenide
You don't need to think how to shut down browser, handle timeouts and StaleElement Exceptions or search for relevant log lines, debugging your tests. We are proud to claim that Selenide is so simple that you don't need to read tons of documentation. Selenium WebDriver is a great tool, but it’s not a tool for testing. It’s a tool for browser manipulation. There are several testing libraries around Selenium WebDriver. But it seems that they do not resolve the main problems of UI tests. Namely, instability of tests caused by dynamic content, JavaScript, Ajax, timeouts etc. Selenide was created to resolve these problems. First of all, Selenide makes your tests stable by resolving (almost) all Ajax/timing issues. We are proud to claim that Selenide is so simple that you don't need to read tons of documentation. The whole work with Selenide consists of three simple things!

Testim
Testim is the fastest path to resilient end-to-end tests—codeless, coded or both. Testim lets you create amazingly stable codeless tests that leverage our AI, but also the flexibility to export tests as code. You can leverage Testim’s modern JavaScript API and your IDE to debug, customize or refactor tests. Store them in your version control system to keep them in sync with branches and run tests on every commit. Run parallel, cross-browser tests on our test cloud or Selenium-compatible grids while integrating with your CI and dev tools to run smoke tests on pull requests, end-to-end tests on release candidates, or full regression suites on a schedule. Customers like Microsoft, Salesforce, NetApp, Wix, and JFrog run millions of tests on Testim each month. Learn more on our website and sign up for your free account!

Selenium WebDriver
Selenium WebDriver drives a browser natively, as a real user would, either locally or on remote machines. WebDriver is simple, it is designed as a concise and compact programming interface. Through a simple setup, WebDriver can be used with all major browsers. Automate real user interactions in Firefox, Safari, Edge, Chrome, Internet Explorer and more! Selenium WebDriver refers to both the language bindings and the implementations of the individual browser controlling code. This is commonly referred to as just WebDriver. The W3C is an international community that works to develop Web standards. In June 2018, WebDriver became a W3C recommendation. Major browser vendors (Mozilla, Google, Apple, Microsoft) support WebDriver and work constantly to improve the browsers and browser controlling code, which leads to a more uniform behavior across the different browsers, making your automation scripts more stable.
