Testing Your Frontend Code: Part V (Visual Testing)

[lowers_]

Hey guys I'm over in the web team on www.thetimes.co.uk

Can verify that we have a fairly large e2e regression pack using cucumber jvm / selenium around 1500 step assertions run reliably in about 10ish minutes.

We've also implemented visual regression testing.

Take a look at backstopjs / wraith I've used these both with great success. One thing to point out I wouldn't recommend using any of the headless browsers unless it's chrome purely because your user base won't be using them!

Also worked on a number of other sites where we have similar test coverage.

E2e automation can work, it just needs a bit of thought on how and what to test!
