Demo shows adding Cypress to existing tests then plugging in apple tools visual checks; running the suite surfaces a real z‑index bug that prevents clicking checkout, root cause analysis pinpoints the style, then reverting the change makes tests pass. Visual comparison detects three differences in an example and the AI-powered diff highlights user-facing regressions that selector-based tests miss, proving the integration actually finds and verifies fixes rather than just asserting endpoints.
