BackstopJS is a powerful visual regression testing tool for web applications. It allows developers to compare visual differences between different versions of a website or web application, helping to catch unintended changes in the UI caused by code updates. BackstopJS generates screenshots of web pages and highlights any visual discrepancies, making it easier to identify and fix issues before they reach production.

Compared to other visual regression testing tools like Percy or Applitools, BackstopJS is open-source, highly customizable, and can be integrated into existing testing workflows seamlessly. It provides a flexible and robust solution for ensuring visual consistency across web projects.
