Visual Testing: More than Just a Pretty Face

October 24 | Sydney, Australia

Adding visual validation to existing automation frameworks is known to catch cosmetic bugs due to alignment or disappearing elements. Many use it to make sure their applications are as beautiful as they intend them to be. While this is certainly a beneficial usage of visual testing, it’s only scratching the surface. As toolsmiths, let’s explore how else we might be able to use visual testing tools to meet our regression testing needs.
