Visual testing
Catch bugs that other tools miss
With other testing tools, visual testing is an afterthought. That's because most automation tools operate at a level below how users interact with your application.
Reflect has first-class support for visual testing, allowing you to find and fix visual regressions before they're released to users.

Common visual testing questions
Why should I use an automated tool for visual testing?
Manual testing can be an effective way to spot visual issues, but it's a time-consuming effort. Automated visual testing enables teams to get notified about visual regressions on every deployment, or potentially on every pull request.
Should visual tests be separate from end-to-end tests?
Unless you're doing visual tests on individual components in isolation, it's difficult to add automated visual checks for your application without also interacting with the site. For example, any behavior that's behind a login will require an authenticated session before visual checks can be performed. By combining end-to-end tests with visual tests, you can ensure the application is in the proper state prior to doing a visual check.
When should I start incorporating visual testing in my overall test strategy?
Visual tests should be used when you want to be proactive about detecting changes in your UI that negatively impact users. When getting started with visual testing, we recommend getting test coverage for your most critical workflows first. For a typical web application, this would be the essential features of your web application, as well as functionality that would have the biggest negative impact if a regression occurred, such as Sign In and Registration workflows.
