Many thanks to Applitools for the exciting opportunity to learn more about Visual AI testing by competing in the hackathon. While trying to solve the five challenges step by step, you truly grasp the fact that proper UI testing is impossible without visual testing. But let’s start from the beginning. Two versions of the same […]
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.
How do you check the behavior of one application across dozens of browsers, devices, and viewport configurations in seconds? Applitools Ultrafast Grid.
You can easily integrate visual UI tests into your CI/CD workflow. Simply add an additional task in the workflow to run the visual UI tests. Typically, the CI Provider runs the automated tests and sends the results to the Visual Testing Provider. The Visual Testing Provider analyzes the testing results and reports them back to the SCRM on that specific PR.
You’re running functional tests with visual validation, and you have dynamic data. Dynamic data looks different every time you inspect it. How do you do functional testing with visual validation, when your data changes all the time? I arrived at Chapter 7 of Raja Rao DV’s course on Test Automation University, Modern Functional Test Automation Through Visual […]
How to use Genymotion, Appium, and Applitools to do visual UI testing of native mobile Android applications.
Modern Functional Testing – Caveats and Conclusion In reaching the conclusion of the course on Modern Functional Testing using Visual AI, I reach the key question: Can I use visual assertions to replace text-based assertions for my test infrastructure?
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 horizontally. The problem of shifting elements affects all kinds of snapshot test tools. How do you inspect just the changes? Visual element changes between builds […]
This course is great for learning Appium with visual testing. Jonathan’s course presents the test code in easy-to-read chunks. If you’re not a Java person, you might not get all the syntax, but you’ll get why things are organized the way they are. (Note – if you’re interested in learning Java, take Angie Jones’s course about the Java language on Test Automation University).
As you know, I’m taking Raja Rao’s Test Automation University Course, Modern Functional Test Automation through Visual AI. Today we’ll discuss testing iFrames. In Chapter 5, Raja refers to iFrames as a necessary evil. Actually, they’re really useful. You likely know that you can use iFrames to embed lots of functionality into your page. If you […]
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.
Imagine this. You built a page with CanvasJS, and you want to test the graphs. How do you create an automated test for the graphical representations? It’s testing dynamic content, after all. This question haunts most test developers. In lots of cases, companies do lots of manual tests on the first release to make sure […]
