Storybook Component Testing with Visual AI
Shift testing left into design and development with component-level visual testing with Applitools Visual AI.
Detect regressions and changes in your Storybook components as soon as they occur with automated visual and functional testing without leaving your development environment.
Find bugs earlier in development
Using Applitools and Storybook together detects component bugs way upstream in the development process, when you first code your components. This prevents bugs from appearing in your UI downstream, when they’re harder to diagnose.
Execute faster across any browser or device
Applitools uses a next-generation browser and device grid to test your components across popular environments nearly instantly, helping you expand coverage while reducing test execution time.
Reduce manual efforts without coding
You’ve got plenty of code to write as it is. With Applitools Storybook SDK, you don’t write any code to test React, Vue, and Angular components. Just a couple of commands and you can test your whole component library.
Easily Integrate Applitools AI with Storybook
Catch Bugs Where You Build
Applitools Eyes integrates directly into Storybook, letting you test and debug components during local development before they enter the CI pipeline. Run tests, review results, and approve or reject changes in real time, all without leaving the Storybook environment.
Ideal for component development, design system maintenance, and local regression testing, Eyes brings a seamless testing experience that empowers developers to own visual quality from the start.
Smarter Visual Testing with Visual AI
Unlike pixel-by-pixel testing tools, Applitools Eyes uses Visual AI to mimic human perception and catch only meaningful UI changes. This reduces false positives and ensures visual bugs are caught without overwhelming your team with noise.
Combine it with dynamic region settings and layout comparisons to intelligently test UI variations across content, structure, and branding.
Automated Maintenance with Visual Intelligence
Keep your visual tests up to date without spending time manually reviewing every diff. The Storybook addon includes auto-maintenance capabilities that let you approve or reject similar changes in bulk, freeing your team to focus on real regressions, not routine updates.
Baseline groups automatically match your Storybook structure, making it easier to navigate and manage test results across large libraries.
Cross Browser and Responsive Testing without the Overhead
With Applitools Ultrafast Grid, you can run visual tests across modern browsers and devices in parallel all without setting up local environments. This drastically reduces test execution time while increasing test coverage.
Get consistent results across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile devices effortlessly.
At first our developers didn’t believe in visual automation. Now they’ve been singing Applitools’ praises because it catches critical bugs.Greg Sypolt • GannettDirector, Quality Engineering
