About
VisualTest is an SDK-based tool that catches visual bugs. It adds AI to your testing, so that you focus only on the differences that matter. It takes baseline screenshots of the UI at specified points in time within the functional test workflow. During subsequent runs of the same test, or regressions, VisualTest verifies your application’s look and feel by comparing the new and old screenshots for changes. It determines significant changes to your UI by processing pixel and DOM information and by using computer vision techniques.
You can:
see a comparison of new screenshots against baseline images
confirm unintentional differences
report the findings
For examples of the kinds of bugs found, see Key advantages of visual testing.
During testing, VisualTest can capture the following kinds of screenshots:
fullpage – captures the whole page
viewport – captures the visible portion of the page
element – captures a specific visual element
It then detects and notifies your team of any visual changes that have occurred, to ensure that only intentional changes to the UI are pushed out to production.
The following video introduces you to the key functionalities available in VisualTest.
