Glaze: Visual Regression Testing Tool

Visual regression testing tool for websites and web apps, detecting accidental UI changes with screenshots comparison and highlighting visual differences for faster debugging.

What is Glaze?

Glaze is a visual regression testing tool designed specifically for testing web applications and websites. It works by capturing screenshots of web pages and comparing them against baseline screenshots to detect accidental changes to CSS, layout, text content, or web component rendering.

Glaze is extremely easy to set up and use. You simply configure Glaze by providing it URLs or routes to your important web pages. Glaze will then visit these pages, capture screenshots, and save them as baselines. In future test runs, Glaze will re-visit the sites, take new screenshots, and highlight any visual differences it detects by comparing to the baselines.

This makes Glaze invaluable for catching UI regressions quickly and efficiently. Even minor CSS or layout issues get flagged immediately, allowing developers to nip bugs in the bud before they impact users. Teams can even set up Glaze to run on every commit or deploy, acting as a visual safety net for the release process.

Compared to manual visual testing or pixel-by-pixel comparisons, Glaze saves vast amounts of time and effort. And by integrating Glaze into the development cycle, teams can ship web code fearlessly, knowing any accidental UI changes will be caught instantly.
