Advanced Visual Testing

<default_to_action> When detecting visual regressions or validating UI:

1. CAPTURE baseline screenshots (first run establishes baseline)
2. COMPARE new screenshots against baseline (pixel-by-pixel or AI)
3. MASK dynamic content (timestamps, ads, user counts)
4. TEST across devices (desktop, tablet, mobile viewports)
5. REVIEW and approve intentional changes, fail on regressions

Quick Visual Testing Steps:

• Set up baseline on main branch
• Compare feature branch against baseline
• Mask dynamic elements (timestamps, avatars)
• Use AI-powered comparison to reduce false positives
• Integrate in CI/CD to block visual regressions

Critical Success Factors:

• Functional tests don't catch visual bugs
