These problems can be prevented – with VRTs

Optimize your maintenance workflow with automated daily tests, instant notifications, and flexible comparison tools.

Activate tests in the post editor meta box

Activate daily tests for any page or post

Upon activation, a reference screenshot is taken. This will be renewed when a post is saved or updated. Comparison screenshots are created daily. You wanna remove a test? No problem. Just remove the test in the settings.

Get notified via email

Catch issues on the go with email alerts

If a change is detected between the snapshot and the comparison screenshot, the plugin will create an alert and notify you via email. As an effect of an alert being raised, the daily testing is paused for that page. As soon as the alert is marked as resolved, the testing continues. The resolved state is taken as a new reference point.

Compare screenshots in different views

Compare two snapshots and customize your alerts

To compare two versions of a website state you can use the option difference, split screen or side-by-side. With that you can easily detect the differences between the two snapshots and fix them quickly. And if you spot any false positives, you can cancel them out by excluding dynamic elements and animations individually for each test page.

Activate manual tests

Run tests manually for quick checks on the spot (Pro Feature)

The manual testing feature for the VRTs Plugin allows immediate testing for all active tests, swiftly identifying issues resulting from plugin or WordPress updates. Take control of your testing process and ensure visual integrity without waiting for the next scheduled test.

Trigger tests automatically

Run tests automatically via code and CI/CD pipelines (Pro Feature)

Integrate visual regression testing into your deployment workflow for seamless automation. With each deployment, automatically trigger all visual tests and receive instant notifications on any visual changes. This is more than testing – it’s proactive quality assurance for any website’s ongoing development.
