Buzz around Visual Testing has been there since a while but not doing it right can be detrimental for your money and time.
First of all let’s try to understand ‘What is Visual Testing?’ and what are various technologies available in the market. Majority of tools out there does comparisons at pixel level with some thresholding which leads to a large number of failures due to invisible pixel displacement. This also increases overall project cost. So we must have a mechanism that filters out all the invisible changes and at the same time does not miss out visible changes.
The existing tools which claims to offer AI based comparisons are heavily licensed so they end up digging a hole in your pocket. In addition to this they end up missing various differences. This leads to immense need of alternate free/affordable Visual Testing tool which also give accurate results.
