Description: Visual regression testing is a type of testing that verifies visual changes in a user interface (UI) of an application. Its main goal is to ensure that modifications in the code do not negatively affect the appearance and functionality of the interface. These tests are particularly relevant in the context of agile development and continuous integration pipelines, where changes are implemented frequently and rapidly. Through automated tools, visual regression tests compare screenshots of the UI before and after changes, identifying differences that may indicate issues. This approach not only helps detect visual errors but also ensures that the user experience remains consistent over time. Visual regression testing is essential for maintaining software quality, as it allows developers and designers to focus on functionality and aesthetics without fear that changes will inadvertently introduce visual errors. In an environment where first impressions are crucial, these tests become an indispensable tool to ensure that the user interface meets expected quality standards.
