Microsoft Visual Studio vs Applitools Comparison

Super useful in visual regression. You don’t need to care the complicated steps like traditional visual regression.

Would be nice to add more agents. I’m currently working to integrate applitools with codeceptjs

- ease of use - documentation - value out of product - dashboard

- There is no cons i see as of now for Applitools

My favourite part of testing with Applitools Eyes was the amount of code I ended up writing. For instance - in order to test a form, there's a surprising amount of code that needs to be written using other tools, with Eyes I could just take a snapshot of the form and compare it visually. Less code to maintain is always better :)

I was trying to check our (highly dynamic in terms of content) home page with Eyes and unfortunately I've has some false alarms here and there. But if the content is not *as* dynamic (that is - not changing in terms of photo/size on every page load) it's a great tool.

It is really easy to understand the product and it provides great features to do visual regression testing

I did not find any cons as such till now

The ease of debugging and knowing why your test fails is on point. The visual integration is perfect for any system.

There is a lot going on in the dashboard which i would appreciate being improved in the future and later versions to prioritize what matters most and what should have priority in the dashboard.

Started learning on Visual AI automation. Loving it so far. Great UI and cross browser tool. Traditional UI automation requires lot of coding and maintenance and still tends to be flaky and cannot catch all visual bugs. AI overcomes all this. There is much more to it. Definitely recommend to give short. Their support is great.

Bit costly but seems really worth over all the benefits and ROI.

Easy to use and by setting the baselines it helps a lot comparing the visuals rather than text. It is as easy as pie to integrate with your current test automation scripts. And like the idea of writing something with Eyes.Open() and Eyes.Close() it's something like you're asking a robot to verify if everything goes OK or not.

For a dynamic screen like a mobile game, because all objects are dynamic it's hard to locate and hard to use visual localizers. Because the tool providing so many elegant solutions, it is just one that I can say they can improve, others work perfectly.

You can use this to test the objects in a web page that do not have any other way of identification to test them. Also, you need not write a lot of assertions since you can do a lot of them at once using visual validation.

I feel it is a bit slow in execution. The concept is new so it requires a bit of usage to feel ease with it.

Applittols Eyes is the the market leader solution related to Visual Regression Testing. It allows you to detect many problems in the application, that a functional test would not be able to identify. Also, it has a great documentation, with integrations with many different programming languages and frameworks.

Considering that it is still a new technology and solution, it has a price to use that is some cases, it not easy to afford.

Applitools Eyes a tool easy to use, in a few minutes you can have a visual test. With Applitools Eyes is possible to make functional tests as well. I use Applitools Eyes each day for my test in differents program languages, Java, JavaScript, C#, and it supports my favorite testing tools Selenium, Cypress, WebDriverIO, Appium.

I have been using Applitools Eyes for testing in my own and company projects for 15 months, and so far, I haven't found something that not likes me. I love this tool.
