Summary

Today, Applitools is enabling teams to validate user interface (UI) components by creating automated tests with visual checkpoints through testing frameworks like Selenium, Appium, Espresso, and more. Software testers once took visual validation for granted when manually testing apps, but now with groundbreaking automated UI validation from Applitools Eyes, we can validate UI components again. The need for visual checkpoints arises because without them, there's no way to know if a UI component has broken when developers commit UI changes, potentially affecting the user experience. Enabling Applitools is easy, and teams can integrate it with Sauce Labs to run tests on various browsers, devices, platforms, and screen resolutions, ensuring a flawless UI and catching unintended visual bugs before they reach production. By adding visual tests to existing automated tests, teams can validate both functional end-to-end and visual components, releasing faster with confidence and accuracy.
