Visual Testing Strategies

Learn what Visual AI is, how it’s applied today, and why it’s critical across many industries – in particular software development and testing.

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to use visual locators to target anything you need to test in your application and how it can help you create tests that are more resilient and robust.

Visual testing evaluates the visible output of an application and compares that output against the results expected by design. You can run visual tests at any time on any application with a visual user interface.

Catch a recap of my recent keynote, where I spoke about the context and the criteria required to make any test automation framework the “best.”

Using AI to intelligently identify discrepancies between a base image and the test run, capturing the DOM for easy debugging, controlling A/B testing for variants of your application, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines and Jira…I could go on.

This experience has turned me into advocate for Applitools. I see a lot of potential of this kind of testing. I recognize the benefit for the current project my team is working on. And looking back I see there were many cases over the years where it would have helped QA Engineers I have worked with.

If you read my previous blog, Fast Testing Across Multiple Browsers, you know that participants in the Applitools Ultrafast Cross Browser Hackathon learned the following: Applitools Ultrafast Grid requires an…

The truth is, that using POM does no harm in Cypress and can be really helpful. But I like that Gleb has made a strong argument for other options. Because using them unleashes some Cypress superpowers. In this post, I’d like to explore and describe both of these options
