Abstract

Aspects of the technology described herein can detect visual regressions in a computer-generated document, such as a web page, caused by programming errors. The technology can be used to detect errors in programs coded in a variety of different languages and used in a variety of applications that generate user interfaces. In one aspect, the technology is used to validate an updated program module prior to replacing a production version of the program module with the updated version. The technology described herein can compare a baseline version of a user interface with a test version of the user interface generated using the updated program module. In an aspect, a visual parity analysis is run to detect a visual regression.
