Screenshotbot is a snapshot testing tool that works with existing snapshot testing libraries such as Swift-Snapshot-Testing. It automates comparisons of screenshots during pull requests and helps identify both intended and unintended changes in your application UI.
It reduces developer overhead when testing UI changes across multiple device variants, e.g., dark-mode/light-mode, tablets, phones, watches, font size, etc.
Integrating it with CI/CD pipelines can also streamline QA processes, making it easier to maintain consistency and visual accuracy of user interfaces across releases.
The process looks like this:
1. Generate Screenshots – The test framework generates screenshots of the UI during tests, typically using a library like Swift-Snapshot-Testing on iOS or Paparazzi on Android.
2. Call Screenshotbot CLI – Once the screenshots are stored in a directory, the provided CLI uploads them to Screenshotbot.
3. Compare Against Baseline – Screenshotbot automatically compares the new screenshots against the baseline versions.
4. Review Changes in PR – If differences are detected, Screenshotbot notifies developers on GitHub, allowing reviewers to easily approve or reject changes.
