Angie Jones’ Post

Look at this UI. How did this happen in production? My guess is that they have test automation for this. But guess what...all of the expected text is there. So, the tests are passing because traditional assertions would never catch this. It's 2019, people. If you're doing UI automation and don't have visual assertions, you're missing bugs...expensive ones. This is a sponsored Instagram ad, meaning a business paid good money to have this placement, and yet this wasn't caught pre-deployment because your tests didn't look for them. A free Applitools account would take your automation to the next level: https://applitools.com/ #TestAutomation #GuiGoneWrong

Yet a manual tester would have spotted this first. Most testing should be a mix I can not understand someone who is automating not doing a visual check.

Doesn't Instagram use react native? As far as I am aware there is no visual regression tool for the native world. I think there have been some solutions around using storybook but would be really interested if applitools has solved this Angie Jones.

Yes, It‘s good scenario for ui automation with visual elements!

Assertions going wrong. I have experienced this with #Hike messenger too
