Your Tests Lack Vision: Adding Eyes to Your Automation Framework
summary
Demonstrates adding visual validation to functional tests using Applitools Eyes (Java demo) to catch UI regressions that assertions miss — flipped book covers, misaligned labels, cursor-hover diffs — by saving a baseline screenshot and ML-driven comparisons instead of pixel diffs. Shows scoping to element or region, four match levels including layout match level, parallel cross-browser snapshots via the visual grid (≈30× faster), on‑prem option, and free tiers (~100 checks/month, larger for OSS).
