As our app grew, we found it necessary to refactor our components as new requirements emerged. But how could we do this without breaking some styling by mistake? You can't write tests for CSS... can you?
A screenshot test is one that takes pictures of your pages and compares them to how they looked before. Done right, they can be a great way to increase confidence when making these types of changes.Â
This talk will take you through our journey with this type of testing, which started back in 2020. I'll share all the lessons we learned along the way, including how to make these tests run faster and flake less.
