Visual Regression Tests - Upgrading your UI tests!

We will talk about Visual Regression Tests, how can this improve you experience in UI Automate Testing, how it works in a CI pipeline and how to use this kind of tests to improve your regression UI Tests.

First of all, lets talk about Visual Regression Tests: a way to compare your front-end code changes based on an baseline screenshot and you can run this tests every time you make a change. Usually when we talk about tests and the layers of development that effectively the testers act, then comes the mind automation of UI tests that effects the simulation of the end user in the product (software), but why not extend our experience and also increase the scope of our UI test, validating the structure of the frontend? In this talk, I want to present an open source tool, easy to install (and use) and with excellent documentation that allows a first experience with visual regression tests.
