Visual (a.k.a. screenshot) testing with Vizzy
summary
Vizzy is an open source Vizzy system that uploads Espresso screenshots to a Rails backend (planned Docker distribution) for pixel comparisons using ImageMagick; teams self‑host the server (no public instance). It integrates with CI to compare PR screenshots against base images, lets reviewers approve new bases, and deliberately does not block merges. Production use reports 3,000 tests with occasional flakiness fixed by waits/mocks; supports Android and iOS screenshots, multiple densities, and developer builds that expire after 24 hours. pixel‑by‑pixel diff
