BrowserStack's New Visual Testing Suite

In a significant move aimed at ensuring the quality of digital experiences, BrowserStack, the leading platform in software testing, has rolled out its comprehensive visual testing suite, comprising Percy, App Percy, and Visual Scanner. This innovative suite is crafted to help businesses maintain the visual quality of their digital offerings while preventing revenue loss caused by inadequate user interfaces.

The Importance of Visual Testing

According to studies, users take just 0.05 seconds to assess the visual appeal of a website. Alarmingly, 60% of consumers abandon their purchases due to a lackluster user interface. This abandonment translates into an average annual revenue loss of approximately $72,000 for companies. While functional testing verifies that features perform as expected, it often fails to catch visual discrepancies that can emerge over time, leading to significant user experience (UX) deficits. Traditional manual tests and open-source solutions frequently lack the scalability essential for complex testing scenarios.

Nakul Aggarwal, CTO of BrowserStack, noted, "Visual tests are critical for providing a consistent user experience across thousands of device-browser combinations. The BrowserStack visual testing suite significantly reduces functional testing time by 50%, facilitating an impeccable user experience."

Features of the Visual Testing Suite

The newly launched suite boasts a range of advanced capabilities, including:

• - Percy Visual AI Engine: This engine identifies key visual changes while filtering out non-deterministic rendering artifacts.
• - Visual Scanner: This tool automates the detection and regular monitoring of visual changes on websites without requiring any coding.
• - Real Device Testing: BrowserStack offers genuine device testing across more than 20,000 devices, guaranteeing consistent user experiences across various device and OS combinations.
• - Seamless CI/CD Integration: This feature enables visual reviews during every code deployment, ensuring continuous quality assurance.
• - Collaborative Review Tools: These tools simplify team coordination for visual alterations, promoting swift consensus on modifications.

Intercom has implemented Percy’s integrations with Storybook for React and Capybara for Rails to optimize its visual testing processes. By conducting automated tests on CircleCI builds and reviewing changes at the component level, Intercom accelerates delivery while ensuring visual consistency throughout its application.
