Test Automation without Assertions
summary
A Selenium wrapper called recheck-web replaces assertions with Golden Master approval tests, capturing a snapshot of the rendered DOM and reporting concrete diffs (demo shows 116 differences when CSS changes). It matches elements by attribute overlap so tests survive changed IDs, offers a CLI to apply mass updates across thousands of golden masters, and injects a constant virtual identifier called retest ID so recorded Selenium scripts keep working without brittle selectors.
