The Holy Trinity of UI Testing
summary
Defines a decision table based on application characteristics and development stage and shares concrete experiments: page load strategy cuts 15s tests to about 8–9s, team implements three visual POCs and compares Galen, Gemini, Applitools and custom image-compare libraries, discovers tradeoffs in DSL rewrites, maintenance and upload latency, and finds baseline management is the hardest operational problem. Recommends running focused visual checks inside existing functional flows, doing a one-to-three week proof of concept, and keeping scope small to avoid report overload.
