A missing button, a broken layout, a font that didn't load: none of that fails a DOM assertion, but it's still broken. Visual regressions cost you revenue and user trust whether or not your test suite catches them, and on any browser or device your customer happens to be using.
DOM assertions only check what you thought to test. Visual AI compares what actually renders, so a broken layout, missing button, or wrong font gets caught even when every functional test passes.
Run the same visual check across hundreds of browser and device combinations at once with the Ultrafast Grid. You get full cross-browser coverage without maintaining a local device lab.
Pixel-by-pixel tools flag every anti-aliasing shift and rendering quirk as a failure. Visual AI ignores what doesn't matter and flags only the changes a person would actually notice.
Compare what renders, not what's coded
Visual AI checks the pixels a user actually sees, so a broken layout, overlapping button, or missing font gets flagged even when the DOM looks fine.
Cover every browser and device at once
The Ultrafast Grid renders your app across hundreds of browser and device combinations in parallel, so nothing ships untested because a lab didn't have that config.
One snapshot replaces hundreds of assertions
A single eyes.checkWindow() call validates an entire screen, so you stop writing a check for every button, label, and image individually.
Skip the locator maintenance
Visual AI finds elements by what they look like, not by a CSS selector, so a class name change doesn't send you back into the test file.
Ignore the noise that doesn't matter
Anti-aliasing, font rendering, and sub-pixel shifts get filtered out automatically, so a passing test actually means the UI is fine.
Update every related baseline at once
When a change is intentional, group similar diffs across browsers and resolutions and approve them together instead of one at a time.
Catch issues before code review
Test Storybook components as they're built, so design feedback happens before a page ships, not after a bug report.
Give non-engineers a way in
Record a flow or write in plain English, so QA and design can add coverage without waiting on an engineer to write it for them.
See your application exactly as your customers do. Applitools compares baseline and checkpoint images with the accuracy of a human reviewer, at a speed no person could match.
DOM locators break the moment a class name changes. Applitools finds elements using visual and semantic clues instead, so your tests survive changes that would otherwise need a rewrite.
Validate every language and region without writing a separate assertion for each one. The Layout match level ignores translated text length and flags only real layout breaks.
Mark the regions you want to ignore, like ads or timestamps, so dynamic content doesn't generate a false positive every run.
Applitools plugs into your functional test framework, your Git workflow, and your CI/CD pipeline, so visual checks run exactly where your other tests already do.
Click a diff and see the exact DOM and CSS change that caused it, so a failure comes with an answer, not just a red X.
