Use Cases
Archive/Monitoring
Your client can refer that you have broken the site with your changes even if you didn't touch that section. We allow you to have visual archive of the site so you can always show how site was before your work. In the same way you can monitor what editors do.
WordPress Theme
If you sell and maintain a theme you probably have a demo site. By adding visual regression testing to demo site you can ensure nothing gets broken when you deploy new changes.
Optimization
Running performance optimization? We ensure that your changes had zero visual changes to the site on all pages.

Founder of WP-OK
At WP-OK we manage hundreds of WordPress websites, and detecting an issue before our customers do it's a tremendous added value. Before signing up I was afraid of having to deal with a lot of false positives. But the comparison works really well and Diffy helps us to deliver our promises. It's like having extra staff in our team!

CSS Testing - The Why
CSS bugs are extremely easy to introduce because unique rules need to be written for rendering every visual element on a page, taking into consideration all combinations of devices, browsers, and screen sizes.
It’s simply too much for a developer to handle manually.
Moreover, because these bugs might only appear in certain browsers and screen sizes, they’re quite hard to catch.
And you can’t just sit around and wait for your users to let you know about a visual bug - if they have a bad user experience, more often than not they’ll just leave and check out a competitor!
Hence the importance of CSS testing.
Integrations
Pantheon - Quicksilver
Monitor your website for updates and if any found — create an updated site and compare it visually with production. So you can run your updates safely.
Acquia
Trigger Diffy comparison job with Acquia webhooks after deployment. So you know exactly what changes are coming with the next release.
Platform.sh
We test Drupal core Umami distribution with Diffy and Platform.sh. Allows visual testing of patches for both anonymous and admin users.
Github - checks
Github app that provides a check for your pull requests. Once testing job is completed it will be posted to your pull request as a check so you have all results right there, in pull request thread.
Pantheon - Build Tools
Build Tools allow to spin up Multi Dev pull request environments. We provide an easy integration to compare those environments with Dev and post results back to Github.
CircleCI
Custom CircleCI Orb that compares pull request environments with DEV so you have less integration code to maintain as it is hidden in the orb.
About Visual Regression Testing Tools
The most straightforward approach to perform a CSS test is called visual regression testing.
Tools like Diffy allow developers to save hours of QA, by leveraging the power of technology.
These visual regression testing tools are able to detect the tiniest of bugs - those that a user would describe as “something about this page just feels off”.
By having three different staging environments, visual bugs are caught early on, and teams are able to keep a steady schedule, since no dev has to keep going back and fix issues nobody knew about.
