Visual Validation - The Missing Tip of the Automation Pyramid
summary
Automation misses UI regressions and visual UX breaks so the claim is to add automated visual validation as a fourth tip on the pyramid using Applitools Eyes. The demo shows screenshots baseline comparisons, false positives from pixel matching, and AI-driven checks (strict and layout algorithm) that find real layout or functional-visual defects across browsers and viewports. It also shows scaling via a rendering grid (runs once but validates across >40 SDK/browser combos) and DOM/CSS root-cause info.
