At present, CheckView does not incorporate visual regression testing. Instead, our platform relies on a combination of βhardβ data validation methods, including database verification and direct communication with the application platform, to ensure functionality and accuracy during testing.
Current Testing Approach
Rather than comparing visual snapshots, CheckView validates the structure and behavior of elements through:
This approach enables reliable, data-focused testing without relying on visual changes, which may vary due to minor display adjustments or responsive design differences.
Future Plans for Visual Regression Testing
We understand the importance of visual consistency, particularly for WordPress sites where design accuracy is critical. Adding visual regression testing is on our roadmap, allowing users to monitor for unexpected visual changes in addition to current data-based validations.
Considerations for Your Testing Plan
For projects where visual fidelity is essential, consider supplementing CheckView tests with external visual regression tools or manual reviews until this feature is available in CheckView. By doing so, you can ensure a thorough evaluation of both functional and visual aspects of your site.
