LambdaTest launched SmartUI, a visual regression testing platform, under the larger ambit of its unified testing cloud.

With LambdaTest SmartUI, businesses can now do smart automated visual regression testing at scale and identify visual defects early ensuring that customers get a seamless digital experience no matter what device they are using. The platform automatically compares the latest builds with baselines to uncover visual deviations in UI elements like icons, typography, paddings, color, and layout, as well as the element's position, giving development teams the confidence to release pixel-perfect experiences up to 70% faster.

Users can run automated visual regressions across 3000+ different desktop and mobile environments. The platform supports all popular automation frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer, Playwright, etc, across all programming languages like Java, Python, NodeJS, and C#, among others.

"Digital-native customers expect a smooth experience every time they access a digital asset. UI testing forms the bedrock of enabling this experience. LambdaTest's SmartUI platform will make it seamless for development teams to do visual regression testing with its intuitive design and functionality, not to mention its slew of integrations. Visual regression testing has never been this simple," said Mayank Bhola, Co-Founder and Head of Product, LambdaTest. "This launch forms a crucial part of our larger digital experience testing platform which will help enterprises accelerate their digital transformation journeys. Enterprises can now pick and choose across cross-browser testing, real devices testing, visual regression testing, and OTT app testing, thereby enabling a top-notch digital experience for their customers."

SmartUI has ready integration with popular UI components libraries with more being added every week. In addition, the platform also seamlessly integrates with CI/CD platforms like GitHub, CircleCI, and AzureDevOps, to help users run their CI along with visual regression testing.

Each visual deviation and change 'found' can have approvers who can test and change the status to approved on inspection. Users can easily filter tags, have custom error highlight colors, have multiple view options, auto-approve if the mismatch percentage is low, and also decide the pixel threshold for comparison.
