The Problem One of the biggest hurdles to successful automated testing is making sure that when your tests fail, they’re legitimate failures. Getting false positives is a slippery slope that can easily lead to a death knell for any testing initiative. This holds true in automated visual testing with common issues like elements being offset […]
Watch it Now: Free, on-demand In our last webinar, hosted by Sauce Labs, Adam Carmi from Applitools & Chris Broesamle from Sauce Labs showed how to enhance cross-browser coverage with cloud-based Automated Visual Testing.
It is probably safe to assume that any developers reading this article are already testing their applications. At the bare minimum, you’re testing the feature you’re working on as you develop it and checking that it works with any existing code. Many of you are probably using some form of automated functional testing as well. […]
Visual bugs are errors in the presentation of an application. They appear all the time, and frequently surface when applications are viewed in the various viewport sizes of our mobile devices (laptops, phones, tablets, watches). What’s horrifying about these pesky visual bugs is that they cannot be caught by typical automated tests. This is because […]
The Problem There is a stark misconception in the industry when it comes to visual testing. Namely that it is hard to automate. Even noted automaters in the field share this misconception, which can be seen by this quote. “Visual testing, something that is very difficult to automate.” – Richard Bradshaw (@FriendlyTester) [source] As a […]

Thai Pangsakulyanont is a front-end architect working for Taskworld in Bangkok, Thailand. He has eight years of testing experience, including six with […]
How much is it worth to catch more bugs early in your product release process? Depending on where you are in your release process, you might be writing unit or systems tests. But, you need to run end-to-end tests to prove behavior, and quality engineers require a high degree of skill to write end-to-end tests […]
As a quality engineer, what do you think about when you consider the return on investing an hour of your time? Or two hours? What if it could save you up to half the work hours you spent over the past year? If you spend a lot of time writing or maintaining your end-to-end tests, […]
