the challenge

Visual Testing Can Be Highly Manual and Time-Intensive

Compressed release cycles already put intense pressure on QA processes, but that challenge is even more so when it comes to the visual aspects of an application such as formatting, alignment, screen resolution, and action button location of digital interfaces. Yet, this type of testing is often the difference between a 4- and 5-star rated application.

There are multiple challenges for QA teams when it comes to Visual Testing:

  • Even small changes to an application can have a significant impact on UI.
  • Different devices, operating systems, and regions increase the potential for error.
  • There is an infinite number of cause/effect variables to test.
  • Existing manual test processes are costly, time-intensive, and error-prone.

FAQ’s – Visual Testing

Visual Testing is a process that validates the visual appearance of an application, ensuring that the UI elements render correctly across various devices, browsers and screen resolutions. It involves verifying the visual aspects of a software application, identifying UI issues, layout discrepancies, and visual defects that could affect user experience.

Visual testing is crucial for modern applications because it ensures a consistent and error-free user interface across different devices, browsers, and screen sizes. It helps in catching visual issues like misalignments, missing UI elements etc. that automated functional tests might miss, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Visual testing tools offer several benefits, including automated detection of visual discrepancies, faster testing cycles, and the ability to catch UI regressions early in the development process. These tools can help maintain a high-quality user interface while reducing manual testing efforts.

Visual testing tools work by capturing screenshots of the application under test and comparing them against baseline images. They detect any visual differences, such as misplaced elements, layout differences, incorrect colors, or font changes, and highlight these discrepancies for further review.

For example, in the retail industry, visual testing can be used to ensure that product images, prices, and promotional banners are correctly displayed across different devices and browsers. Suppose a retailer launches a new promotion, the visual testing tool can capture screenshots of the web page with the promotional content and compare it with the intended design. If any banners are missing or images are incorrectly aligned, the tool will flag these discrepancies.

In the healthcare industry, visual testing ensures that patient information is correctly displayed on various platforms. For instance, if a healthcare application displays a patient’s prescription details, visual testing can verify that the information is presented accurately, with correct formatting and layout, preventing any potential errors that could affect patient care.

AI enhances visual testing by automating the detection of visual anomalies with greater accuracy and speed than traditional methods. By using machine learning algorithms, AI can learn from vast amounts of visual data and improve its ability to identify subtle differences that might be overlooked by human testers. These include detecting changes in UI elements, such as color shifts, font alterations, or even minor layout adjustments.

For instance, in a complex application with dynamic content, AI-driven visual testing can quickly analyze numerous visual elements across different screens and platforms, identifying inconsistencies or bugs that may affect user experience. This not only improves the quality of the software but also accelerates the testing process, allowing teams to focus on more critical issues.
