Visual regression testing built into your functional pack

Visual regression should not live in a separate tool.

With DoesQA, you can integrate visual assertions directly into your existing automated flows. That means layout shifts, styling issues, and unintended UI changes are caught as part of your normal functional runs.

Detect real UI changes

DoesQA visually compares your current page or element against a stored control.

If something changes, you see it immediately.

You can:

  • Capture full-page visual states

  • Snapshot specific elements

  • Detect layout shifts and element position changes

  • Combine visual checks with functional assertions

This allows you to validate not just whether something works, but whether it still looks correct.

Smart control management

Visual regression only works if it is flexible.

DoesQA allows you to:

  • Automatically generate a new control when a change is intentional

  • Define your own control key for tighter governance

  • Reuse the same control across multiple Flows

  • Share controls across environments when required

This gives teams both speed and precision.

Exclude dynamic elements

Real applications contain dynamic content.

With Element Snapshot, you can mask specific areas to ignore:

  • Time and date fields

  • Weather widgets

  • Promotional banners

  • Prices that change frequently

  • Personalised content

  • Rotating carousels

  • Analytics counters

You decide what matters visually and what does not.

Expand coverage fast

Visual regression is one of the fastest ways to build meaningful early coverage.

Instead of writing multiple assertions, you can validate an entire page state in a single step.

As your test pack grows, visual checks integrate seamlessly with branching logic, allowing you to cover variations without duplicating work.

Built for real-world automation

Because visual regression runs inside the same platform as your functional automation:

  • It benefits from parallel runners

  • It integrates with CI/CD

  • It contributes to unified reporting

  • It works with branching flows and Recipes

No external service.

No separate pipeline.

No fragmented reporting.

Just reliable visual validation as part of your complete test automation strategy.
