You can view the test runs for a specific project by clicking a project name in the left navigation, as shown below, to display the Test Runs screen:
![]() |
There is a tile for each test run. Three test run tiles are shown boxed in the image above. A new tile is added to the upper left part of this screen with each new test run.
Each tile has green and red square indicators that describe the images identified:
Green: new images plus number of images with zero diffs
Red: number of images with one or more diffs
Below these indicators is a status flag that indicates one of the following:
Blue: images are new
Orange: number of images for review
Red: no images detected, test run failed
Green: review complete
Each test run represents a single Selenium session or Cypress execution. There are three ways to name a test run:
Left unnamed. VisualTest by default provides a name based on the operating system and browser:
macOS 12 / Firefox 106
If tests are repeated on the same operating system or browser, VisualTest adds a counter after the name:
macOS 12 / Firefox 106 (1), macOS 12 / Firefox 106 (2)
and so on...Hard-coded. All runs use the test run name you choose in your test script:
Marketing page test
If tests are repeated on the same operating system or browser, VisualTest adds a counter after the name:
Marketing page test (1) , Marketing page test (2)
etc.Variable. All runs use the test run name you choose in your test script:
Home page test - Build 1234
We recommend that you add the build version to the name if you run suites of scripts.
