Visual Testing Methods
Below are some of the methods for Visual testing:
1. Create dedicated visual tests: In this, the tester will write the test cases for different scenarios. Here, moderate efforts of writing test cases will only be required. Writing the test cases from scratch is important and it needs some significant time to write the accurate test cases.
2. Inserts Visual Points in existing functional tests: In this method, the tests for validating the functionality of the application are already present and just some visual checks need to be added between these tests to validate the pages. Of course, this method limits your test coverage but it’s a quick way of inserting visual tests and taking the benefit from the existing functional testing code.
3. Insert Implicit Visual Validation to the Existing Testing Framework: This method is very easy to implement as it requires only a few lines of code. However, it suffers from the limitation that one can also do generic validation in this case. One can’t validate specific components in the framework.
Visual Testing – Software Testing
Visual Testing is also called Visual UI Testing. It validates whether the developed software user interface (UI) is compatible with the user’s view. It ensures that the developed web design is correctly following the spaces, sizes, shapes, and positions of UI elements. It also ensures that the elements are working properly with various devices and browsers. Visual testing validates how multiple devices, browsers, operating systems, etc., affect the software.
