Description
JavaScript started off as a scripting language to add interactivity to web pages but with addition of Node.js, it has become one of the most popular full stack programming languages.

In my opinion, JavaScripts ranks #1 with regard to the availability of test automation tools and frameworks including some of the popular ones - WebdriverIO, Cypress, Playwright, TestCafe, Nightwatch, Mocha, Jest, Jasmine, CodeceptJS and Casper.js and so on.

There goes the reason why a test engineer should add JavaScript and Node.js into their career skills.
