We just released version 10.3 of Applitools Eyes on our Application Visual Management (AVM) platform and would like to tell you about three great new capabilities we added:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. UI Version Control<\/li>\n
  2. New View: Apps & Tests<\/li>\n
  3. New View: List View of Test Baselines<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    1. User Interface Version Control<\/h2>\n

    UI Version Control lets you view the history of an application UI over time, and see how it has changed, what has been changed, and by whom.<\/p>\n

    Up until now, Applitools has only shown baselines in the context of test results from the test results manager, and you\u2019ve never been able to view the history of a test baseline.<\/p>\n

    Now in Applitools 10.3, you can see the history of all your test baselines in each branch, compare them to prior versions of your baselines<\/a>, and revert to an earlier version if necessary. You can do this by selecting \u2018Save as latest\u2019 from the baseline options menu. So, if you accidentally accepted a baseline that you shouldn\u2019t have, you can undo your mistake.<\/p>\n

    You can also merge baselines branches just like you merge your code changes. This gives you a lot of flexibility around baseline management.<\/p>\n

    This capability is essentially version management applied to the concept of the visual aspects of your application\u2019s entire user interface. We call this User Interface Version Control, or UIVC. And we are the first company to build this.<\/p>\n

    Another benefit of Applitools\u2019 UIVC is that it gives you a system-of-record<\/a> to understand how your product\u2019s UI has evolved. We found it amazing that, in 2018, with so many businesses driving the bulk of their revenue through their app or website, there wasn\u2019t a place to go to see the visual evolution of your product. So, we went out and built one!<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s a demonstration from our CTO, Adam Carmi, of our new UI Version Control:<\/p>\n
