🎯 Benefits

For Developers

• Early Detection: Catch UI regressions before they reach production
• Confidence: Know that UI changes don't break existing components
• Documentation: Visual documentation of all component states
• Automation: No manual testing needed for visual consistency

For QA/Design

• Visual Diffs: Clear before/after comparisons
• Cross-Browser: Ensure consistency across all browsers
• Mobile Testing: Automated mobile app screenshot testing
• Baseline Management: Easy approval of intentional changes

For CI/CD

• Automated: Runs automatically on every PR
• Fast Feedback: Quick visual regression detection
• Artifacts: Screenshots and reports for debugging
• Integration: Works with existing GitHub workflow

🔧 Maintenance

Updating Baselines

When you make intentional UI changes:

1. Review Changes: Check what visual differences exist
2. Validate: Ensure changes are correct and intentional
3. Update: Run pnpm visual-tests update-baselines
4. Commit: Add updated baseline images to git

Adding New Tests

For new components or screens:

1. Storybook: Add comprehensive stories for web components
2. Test IDs: Add testID props to React Native screens
3. Test Files: Update test files with new scenarios
4. Baselines: Run tests to generate initial baselines

Troubleshooting

• Flaky Tests: Increase threshold or wait times
• Browser Issues: Update Playwright browsers
• Mobile Issues: Check Android emulator setup
• CI Failures: Review logs and artifacts
