SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Visual regression testing is critical to ensure UI consistency across code changes. This pattern pack provides reusable Playwright-based templates and guidance to detect unintended visual changes in OSCAR Export Analyzer across browsers and devices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-browser: Run tests across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit to catch browser-specific issues.
  • Visual diff baselines: Capture baseline screenshots and compare against future runs to identify regressions.
  • Accessibility checks: Integrate axe-core scans to ensure accessibility remains intact.
  • Use Case: Validate UI changes after feature rollout and during nightly builds.

Quick Start

Run the Playwright visual regression tests against the app to capture baselines and verify UI consistency.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate visual regression testing with Playwright to catch UI changes?

Automate visual regression testing with Playwright by capturing baseline screenshots of your UI and comparing them against future test runs to detect unintended visual changes across desktop viewports. This ensures UI consistency after code modifications.

Can I run Playwright visual regression tests across multiple browsers?

Yes, you can run Playwright visual regression tests across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. This multi-browser project setup catches browser-specific visual issues by executing screenshot-based comparisons during your end-to-end testing workflow.

How do I integrate accessibility checks into Playwright visual regression tests?

Integrate accessibility checks into Playwright visual regression tests by running axe-core scans alongside your screenshot comparisons. This ensures that UI accessibility remains intact during cross-browser end-to-end testing and nightly build validations.

What is the best way to manage visual diff baselines in Playwright?

Manage visual diff baselines in Playwright by capturing initial screenshots of your UI to serve as the reference. Future test runs compare against these baselines to accurately identify and flag unintended visual regressions.

Does this visual regression testing setup work for validating UI changes after a feature rollout?

Yes, this visual regression testing setup is designed to validate UI changes after feature rollouts and during nightly builds. It uses Playwright to automate cross-browser tests and detect unintended visual changes in your application.
