This approach brings in consistency in test authoring and makes your test suites easily maintanable. Nightwatch supports component testing for popular web frameworks such as:

Integration & Unit Testing
Unit and integration testing are crucial for ensuring the quality and reliability of software by validating individual components and their interactions within a system. You can run unit & integration tests as well using Nightwatch. With v3 we also introduced test doubles with in-built support for stubs, spies & mocks to achieve isolation in unit testing.
