Layout Done — Deploy! Layout Testing with Galen Framework
summary
Galen Framework is used with Selenium and Java/Cucumber to define and assert layout rules (positions, styles) and perform image comparisons, integrated into CI and a shared test library used by 30+ teams. The setup provides automated design-review that reduced verification time by ~20%, handles responsive checks via tags, uses baseline screenshots with a 15% tolerance (or Google Vision text checks) to lower false positives, and reports when regressions impact actual functionality.
