US 2018/0121400 A1 · VISUAL STATE COMPARATOR

Abstract

In various example embodiments, systems and methods for providing visual state comparisons is provided. In example embodiments, parameters are received from a user device of a user. The parameters indicate different browser/operating system combinations for a visual comparison of screenshots of a state for the different browser/operating system combinations. Based on the different browser/operating system combinations indicated by the parameters, the screenshots along with corresponding metadata for each indicated browser/operating system combination are retrieved. A user interface that visually compares at least two retrieved screenshots is provided to the user device. The user interface includes a display of the corresponding metadata for the at least two retrieved screenshots.

A method comprising:

building a test for a web application;
obtaining a modification to a server header of a server system associated with a first run of the test with respect to a first browser/operating system combination, the modification to the server header adjusting behavior of the server system, the server system including one or more servers;
performing the first run of the test, wherein performing the first run of the test includes:
communicating, to the server system, the modification to the server header such that behavior of the server system is adjusted according to the modification during the first run of the test;
capturing a first screenshot of a state of the web application that is encountered during the first run;
and
capturing first metadata that corresponds to the state as encountered during the first run;
and
storing, in data storage, the first metadata and the first screenshot in association with the first browser/operating system combination such that the first screenshot and the first metadata are available for a visual comparison against a second screenshot and corresponding second metadata of the state as encountered during a second run of the test with respect to a second browser/operating system combination.

performing a first run of a test for a web application with respect to a first browser/operating system combination, wherein performing the first run of the test includes:
adjusting, for the first run of the test, behavior of a browser of the first browser/operating system combination based on a modification to a header associated with the browser;
capturing a first screenshot of a state of the web application that is encountered during the first run;
and
capturing first metadata that corresponds to the state as encountered during the first run;
and
storing, in data storage, the first metadata and the first screenshot in association with the first browser/operating system combination such that the first screenshot and the first metadata are available for a visual comparison against a second screenshot and corresponding second metadata of the state as encountered during a second run of the test with respect to a second browser/operating system combination.

one or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
building a test for a web application;
obtaining one or more header modifications selected from a group of header modifications consisting of:
a server header modification of a server header of a server system associated with a first run of the test with respect to a first browser/operating system combination, the server header modification adjusting behavior of the server system, the server system including one or more servers;
and a browser header modification of a browser header, the browser header modification adjusting behavior of a browser associated with the first browser/operating system combination;
performing the first run of the test, wherein performing the first run of the test includes:
causing, for the first run of the test based on the one or more header modifications, adjustment of behavior of the server system, the browser, or a combination of the server system and the browser;
capturing a first screenshot of a state of the web application that is encountered during the first run;
and
capturing first metadata that corresponds to the state as encountered during the first run;
and
storing, in data storage, the first metadata and the first screenshot in association with the first browser/operating system combination such that the first screenshot and the first metadata are available for a visual comparison against a second screenshot and corresponding second metadata of the state as encountered during a second run of the test with respect to a second browser/operating system combination.
