Description

Steps to do:

open a page (using selenium)
take a screen shot (built-in into selenium)
compare (pixel by pixel) with the previous screen shot (using something like chunky_png)
report if the more than x percent of the pixels are not the same

Repeat for interesting pages and browser+version/OS+version combinations.

Version: wmf-deployment
Severity: normal

Mentioned Here: T90884: Investigate using the sikuli-like Applitools framework for visual testing

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Low.Nov 22 2014, 3:03 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz63107.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

It would also be interesting to compare screenshots taken in different browsers in the same test run.

We will investigate an existing solution soon: T90884.
