Many teams don’t automate tests to validate multiple variations because it’s “throw away” code. You’re not entirely sure which variation you’ll get each time the test runs. If you did write test automation, you may need a bunch of conditional logic in your test code to handle both variations. What if instead of writing and maintaining all of this code, you used visual testing instead? Would that make things easier?
Data-driven testing helps build and scale test automation – until you have to maintain your tests. Visual AI helps you test without growing your test code.
The key to becoming a Test Automation Rockstar is to learn how to use Applitools. And we have 40,000 reasons as an incentive for you to learn Applitools now.
How Cross-Browser Testing is evolving
The first chapter compares modern functional testing with Visual AI against legacy functional testing with coded assertions of application output. Raja states that Visual AI allows for modern functional testing while using an existing functional test tool that relies on coded assertions results in lost productivity.
Functional testing myopia results from the code-based nature of functional testing. How can you tell that your app appears the way your customers expect?
Applitools realizes the complexity of visually debugging an application and introduced the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) module on their Test Manager Dashboard to help quickly identify the root cause behind visual UI changes. In this article, I will demonstrate the Applitools RCA feature by walking you through a complete step by step guide to visually test a Vue.js app with Storybook and Applitools.
In this article, I will go back to basics and share a step by step tutorial on how to UI test for native JavaScript applications using Applitools and its powerful integration with the Selenium WebDriver library. Applitools is an automated visual regression testing framework. It focuses on the visual aspects of your app and plays a significant role in exposing the visual differences between baseline snapshots and both current and future snapshots.
Angie walks you through various scenarios and shows how Applitools Eyes will let you create a baseline for your test, and then see how Applitools spots visual differences as you make modifications to the app you are testing. She also shows you how easy it is to either accept differences (to create a new baseline) or reject differences (to flag a failure).
If you use visual testing tools, one of the biggest challenges you’ll face are displacement diffs: something gets wider, narrower, taller, or shorter and other visual elements shift vertically or…
Applitools Eyes 10.7 introduces a new set of built-in metrics, called Insights. Insights provides you with a visual display showing your current test status, including passing tests out of all tests run, failing tests, as well as new results to inspect and evaluate. You can view your overall results, as well as filter your results by batch run or by team – as well as report results over a specific date range. With Applitools Eyes Insights, you can track the progress of your visual testing projects.
For years, the automated visual testing of PDFs was incredibly challenging, if not impossible. Because of this, teams would automate their UI tests but would skip the part where they…
