How many people use testcafe?
npm counted 220,414 downloads of testcafe in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 219K–220K look like real installs. Noise is under 1% of npm's count. What remains still includes CI and installs as a dependency of other packages.
Is testcafe still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 3.7.7, came out on Oct 30, 2026. The last 12 months saw 5 stable releases, typically 72 days apart. It was first published on Aug 7, 2013.
Is testcafe still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are about flat over 3 months and about flat over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 269 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 157% over 11 months, so this one is behind that. Last week, 69% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 3, the latest one; the most used single version was 3.7.6, with 15%. Weekdays get 1.7× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 1,146 downloads a week, roughly 3 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
