AITP-RTP Meeting – Modernizing Your Software Quality Assurance with Visual Testing

Summary:

For more than a decade, there have been two main approaches to software quality assurance: manual testing and automated testing. Automation is great for running tests continuously at scale, but it struggles to catch visual bugs as easily as humans do. Now, thanks to AI, automation can close the gap by detecting visual changes over time. Let's learn how that's done and how we can add automated visual testing to our quality assurance strategy.
