What is Nightly Run?
A nightly run is a scheduled, comprehensive execution of the test suite—often the slower, broader tests that are impractical to run on every commit—kicked off automatically overnight. By morning the team has a fresh report of the codebase's health, catching regressions that accumulated during the day and validating flows across many browsers and configurations. Nightly runs complement fast per-commit gates: quick checks give instant feedback, while the nightly gives thorough, wide coverage without slowing anyone down during the day.
