Below are the required steps necessesary for a user to view a Visual Test report
Navigate to Reports Page. Select a report with the Visual Testing icon.
Click the Visual Testing Report tab.
Once these steps are followed, the Visual Testing report will be displayed and it will look similar to the image below
Pixel Detection Pass will be located at the bottom of the test step card when in Grid View. Pixel Detection Pass does a pixel by pixel comparison of your current test step with the baseline test step and calculates the percentage of matching pixels between the two screens.
A pass or fail is determined by the Pixel Pass Threshold that is set by the user before execution. The user can set the threshold to any number from 0-100.
Ex. If the user sets the threshold to 95% the Pixel Detection Pass score is 95% or greater, the step will pass. If the score is less than 94%, it is a fail
Similarity Score will be located at the bottom of the test step card when in Grid View. Similarity Score uses our AI tool to calculate the similarity in features from current step and the baseline execution. There will be a status attached to it based on it's score. There are 4 different statuses:
Perfect Match (100% Regression Match)
Pass (99% - 94% Regression Match)
Caution (93% - 87% Regression Match)
Fail (<87% Regression Match)
To view the comparison between the baseline execution and current execution, click on any of the step cards. This will bring the user to Comparison View. To view the Pixel Pass or Similaity Score of the current execution, hover over the status icons in the top right corner.
Click on the eye icon to highlight changes between the baseline and current executions. If a Similarity Score is perfect, an eye icon will not appear
Perfect and Passing comparison scores will show zero to very insignficant changes. These minor changes may not always show changes within the Comparison View when clicking on the eye icon.
If the user does not want to run a regression test on a specific step, the user can disable screenshots for that step before executing the test with Visual Testing. Doing this will result in the step not showing any Pixel Pass or Similarity, as seen below
Note: To execute a Visual Regression test with disabled screenshots, the user must first execute a baseline test with those selected screenshots disabled.
The user can also use the Visual Testing action type if they do not wish to get Visual Testing reports on each step. With the Visual Testing action type, the user can select which steps they would like to get Visual Testing reports on.
Click the arrows to navigate through steps. Users can also input a test step number to immediately jump to that test step.
Click any of the step cards on the side panel to navigate to that selected step
The user can click the grid icon to return to Visual Testing Grid view.
There are two ways to filter steps:
Search field
filter by step number or description.
Filtered Screenshots
filter by Pixel Pass or Similarity Score
