At VDAB we built a visual regression testing workflow on top of BackstopJS. This open source tool lets you compare screenshots over time of (parts of) your website or application so you can maintain, update and deploy your code ensuring the visual integrity remains unchanged.
In this talk I will show you how you can set up your own BackstopJS testing workflow with examples and some different approaches. But also how we at VDAB use it on a daily basis, and all the cool features we build into our workflow.
Although this talk handles a subject about design, UI and testing it will be fairly technical. Diving deep into the BackstopJS testing code and all the ways you can extend it for your workflows needs.
About the speaker: I'm Wannes, a Drupal developer at Calibrate, working as a consultant for VDAB in their Drupal team.
