It's quite possible that I'm not current. The latest testing libraries I've used are Nightwatch and Cypress.io. The second worked well for me. The first... not so much.

Ideally, a flexible tool would allow both models: the GUI when you can, and code when you need to. (By the principle: "make simple things easy and complex things possible"). It would also allow me to move easily between the two levels. In particular, it's essential that I can save tests in a text-based format that can be committed to Git, hand-edited and diffed. I'll look through the tools you listed for these features.

Thanks for the wrap-up, Klaus!
