Overview

What is visual regression testing?

Every CSS change, dependency update, or browser version bump is a potential visual regression. Visual regression testing captures screenshots of every page and component state, compares them against approved baselines, and flags pixel-level differences before they reach users. AI analysis distinguishes meaningful regressions, a button that moved, a colour that changed, from expected updates like new feature sections.

What's included

Full-page screenshots

Capture complete page screenshots at every breakpoint, including scroll-triggered content and dynamic states.

Component-level comparison

Test individual components in isolation as well as full pages, making it easy to pinpoint which component caused a regression.

Cross-browser coverage

Run comparisons simultaneously in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, including mobile viewports, on every CI run.

AI diff analysis

AI classifies each diff as a layout shift, colour change, content addition, or rendering artefact, cutting false positive review time by 80%.

Baseline management

Approve new baselines directly from the review UI. Approvals are tracked by user and timestamp for audit purposes.

PR integration

Regression reports appear as PR comments with before/after image pairs and AI severity assessments, keeping context where engineers work.

How it works

From setup to production

01

Baseline

Run the initial capture to establish approved baselines for every page, component, and viewport combination.

02

Capture

On every PR, the runner captures fresh screenshots across all configured browsers and viewports automatically.

03

Compare

Pixel-level diffing runs in under 60 seconds. AI categorises each difference by type and estimated severity.

04

Review

Engineers review flagged diffs in the PR comment or the diff UI, approving intentional changes and blocking regressions.
