Visual testing is a form of regression test that ensures that screens that were correct have not changed unexpectedly. This visual testing is done by saving screen snapshots at key points called checkpoints. These screenshots are then compared to previously stored baseline images, and any significant differences are reported, ignoring differences that a human couldn't perceive.
Cypress launches a headless Chrome where it runs the tests. Applitool's SDK then takes DOM snapshots w/ styles from that headless Chrome and sends them to Applitool's servers where it renders those results in Chrome and then takes a screenshot of that result and does its intelligent comparisons against the baseline. The baseline is created the first time you run it.
You'll need to create an Applitools account. and export APPLITOOLS_API_KEY=valuehere your API key in your local environment if you run it locally.
To write the first Applitools, Cypress documentation was followed step by step. The smoke test was created by first creating an account with Applitools and gaining an API provided by Applitools. Once Cypress has been installed, there is a Cypress folder with several folders integrated into them, these folders will give a base to creating a test which can be followed in the following tutorials below.
