Another type of testing to keep in mind is automated visual testing. Traditional testing experiences rely on validating against code, but this can result in flaky tests in some situations, particularly in complex mobile environments. Visual testing works by comparing visual screenshots instead.
Visual testing can be powerful on mobile applications. While the traditional pixel-to-pixel approach can still be quite flaky and prone to false-positives, advances in visual AI – trained against billions of images – make automated visual testing today increasingly accurate.
