Hey Asheen,

Integrating Cypress screenshots with CI/CD pipelines enables teams to automate visual regression testing, catching UI issues in the development process and ensuring a smoother deployment process.

Hey,

Adding to what Saniya mentioned. Cypress screenshots provide visual documentation of the application’s state at various stages of the testing process. Integrating these screenshots into CI/CD pipelines allows teams to review changes visually alongside code updates and test results. This visual documentation serves as a valuable reference for developers, testers, and stakeholders to understand the impact of changes on the UI, aiding in faster issue identification and resolution.

By storing Cypress screenshots within CI/CD pipelines, teams can perform historical comparisons and regression analysis more effectively.

Automated comparison of screenshots across different builds or releases helps detect unintended UI changes or regressions early in the development lifecycle. This proactive approach ensures consistent UI behavior and enhances overall application quality by preventing visual defects from reaching production.
