Currently cypress framework supports visual regression testing (comparing screenshots of a webpage/subpart under test with a given reference screenshot).

This will help reduce issues with styling/brandind changes and reduce the needs of manual testing & validation.

• As already noted by Tiago, is that most pages are data driven, and hence dynamically changing. That makes hard to compare to fixed screenshots.
  • We can either test isolated/static elements of webpages (login page, about box, navigation, forms, ...)
  • Provide a given threshold for the matching algorithm (this would require manual tuning and hence is subject to making the test flapping)
  • Test isolated elements without back-end data: allowing dashboard to instantiate components (blank table, static landing page, ...)
  • Ensure the backend provides 'deterministic data' (feasible?)
  • Hide changing data by tagging those with some class (.dynamic) and making those invisible or deterministic.
