Applitools knows that you know how crucial it is to deliver flawless user experiences without spending time managing unnecessary test failures or constant updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest Applitools Eyes release introduces new features designed to make your visual testing more efficient and faster. These features will make it easier to manage your tests, reduce manual intervention, and improve your test coverage\u2013whether you’re part of a QA team, a developer, or a test engineer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive into the top three features of Applitools Eyes 10.20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic Match Level <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart Handling of Variations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With Applitools Eyes 10.20, managing visual test results just got easier thanks to the new dynamic match level. This feature allows users to specify certain patterns\u2014like dates, numbers, or email addresses\u2014that can change without triggering test failures. It identifies specific text patterns that commonly vary, such as timestamps or transaction IDs, and ignores them during test execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By default, the system provides patterns like dates, phone numbers, and currency values, but users can also create custom patterns using RegEx. This level of flexibility is especially beneficial for those of you dealing with extremely dynamic content, such as real-time stock market data or dynamic ad targeting, where some elements should not cause a test to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example Use Case:<\/strong> Insurance policy numbers often follow specific formats but vary between users or transactions. During visual testing, these dynamically generated numbers can trigger false positives. With the new dynamic match level, you can now ignore the variability in policy numbers while still validating the rest of the content and UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, a health insurance company has an online portal where customers can view their policies. Each policy is identified by a unique policy number formatted as \u201cPOL-XX-YYY\u201d where \u201cXX\u201d and \u201cYYY\u201d are randomly generated for each customer. Testing tools that cannot handle identifying content patterns would cause visual tests to fail unnecessarily every time the policy number changes. However, using Dynamic Match Level lets this health insurance company\u2019s visual testing ignore the \u201cPOL-XX-YYY\u201d format in tests ensuring the system validates only significant UI changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic Region Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Precision with Less Effort<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to manually drawing regions, visual validation can now be anchored directly to DOM elements. As the page content changes now, Applitools Eyes adapts the validation region, ensuring tests don\u2019t break due to layout shifts or content variations. Dynamic region selection allows you to set visual test regions by simply selecting elements on a web page instead of manually drawing regions, saving you time and improving accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
