Visual diff for test results

Prev Next

Do you ever want to see what parts of the screen have changed in appearance compared to the last time you tested? For the second and subsequent tests in the same execution environment, image comparisons can be made if a screenshot of the previous successful test exists at each step of the test results. If you open the "Diff" tab for each step, the differences between the two screenshots will be highlighted!

The percentage difference is calculated based on changes in pixels and colors. We hope this will allow you to verify changes in appearance that were previously difficult to detect.

Diff display period

The display of the Diff tab is based on the period for viewing test results (log retention period). Therefore, if the last successful test was outside the viewable period, the Diff tab will not be displayed.

Cases where only the "Base" tab is displayed

In the following cases, the "Side by Side" tab will not be displayed, and only the "Base" tab will be visible:

  • When a JavaScript (JS) step is executed in an environment different from the environment in which it was previously executed.
  • When a JavaScript (JS) step has been deleted or modified.
