Storybook provides a sandbox to build UIs in isolation so you can develop hard-to-reach states and edge cases. Implement components and pages without needing to fuss with data, APIs, or business logic. Render components in key states that are tricky to reproduce in an app. Save use cases as stories in plain JavaScript to revisit during development, testing, and QA. Use addons to customize your workflow, automate testing, and integrate with your favorite tools. Stories are a pragmatic, reproducible way to keep track of UI edge cases. Write stories once then reuse them to power automated tests. Whenever you write a story you get a handy test case. Quickly browse stories to make sure your UI looks right. Pinpoint UI changes down to the pixel by comparing image snapshots of stories. Reuse stories in your unit tests to confirm nuanced functionality. Stories show how UIs actually work not just how they're supposed to work. That makes gathering feedback and reproductions easy.

TestMatch is a transaction content comparison tool that provides automated testing of mainframe OLTP (terminal-based Online Transaction Processing applications). It can be used to facilitate the migration of such legacy applications to open systems, or it can provide an automated regression test suite for an application. All user interactions can be recorded centrally on an IBM or Siemens mainframe using standard tools (no client-side or server-side installation of Astadia's tools). Since recording is performed at the network level, it works regardless of the development technology. TestMatch visualizes test scenarios and sessions: this includes the terminal contents as well as all attributes that are typical for terminal-based applications, protected/editable, MDT bit, reverse-video, and colors. TestMatch can replay the recorded scenarios, either against the migrated application (as a migration testing tool) or against the original application (as a regression testing tool).

Chromatic takes pixel-perfect snapshots of real code, styling, and assets. Your tests reflect what your users actually experience. Chromatic creates tests from the Storybook stories already created during the development process. No need to write the same tests twice. Our custom detection algorithm eliminates flakiness from latency, animations, resource loading, and browser state. Chromatic provides a unified workspace for designers, product managers, and other stakeholders to share feedback and sign-off on UI. Post comments and change requests right beside your live components, so that everyone can follow decision-making. Automatically assign specific stakeholders to review open pull requests to speed up sign-off.
