Applitools heads to Test Automation Day to speak on visual UI testing. 

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

On one hand, I absolutely love the feeling that comes from having great test coverage: I can ship new features fast, fix bugs and be confident they won’t return, and above all, effectively collaborate with teams both […]

One of the perks of my job is that we have lunch brought in a couple of times a week. On those days, we’re all eagerly awaiting an email from our office manager with the link to a Doordash order form. We have less than an hour to get our orders in, so everyone stops […]

One of the great things about Slack is the long list of integrations available. Whether it’s an integration as foundational as Google Drive, GitHub, or Zendesk — or as whimsical as Lunch […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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?
