Visual Regression Testing

TestingBot released visual regression testing in Q1 of 2024. With this release, testers can now automatically discover visual defects on their websites and mobile applications.

Performing visual QA testing is an efficient and easy way to quickly detect design differences across devices, or across deployments. For example, suppose you have a shopping cart on your website. With TestingBot's visual screenshot testing, you can take a baseline screenshot of what it should look like. You can then periodically check if the shopping cart looks just like the baseline image. If a change is detected, you will receive an alert with more information, including an image highlighting the differences that were detected.

Why cross browser testing matters

Most companies you know have a website. Many of these websites act as either an e-commerce website trying to sell items from the company's inventory, or are set up to market the product or service the company is selling.


Creating, hosting and maintaining these websites cost money. Companies want to make sure their website looks and behaves correctly on all different platforms and configurations.
