...We have found visual regression testing to be one of the most effective ways to catch regressions. It's a great tool to have in your pipeline, but the current solutions on the market were missing one key component we felt was essential for a great developer experience performance.

A visual regression testing library/tool, aims to quickly automate browser-based tests with minimum development overhead. To test flexibly in different testing scenarios, either testing against web UI wired with backends or just static web pages, VBot exposes API to be used with testing frameworks like mocha or ava, etc. Therefore, the test data variables can be updated according to different conditions, in order to decouple from real backends and avoid false negative results.
