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 and provides a flexible and customizable configuration for testing different scenarios and environments. It is actively maintained and widely used in the web development community.
