Hey PH! 👋 Today, I’m thrilled to reveal the latest version of Chromatic, a visual testing tool used by thousands of frontend teams (including The BBC, The Guardian, LEGO, and GitHub). Chromatic 3 combines new features, workflows, and infrastructure to present our most performant, flexible, and efficient visual testing service yet! ⭐️ Visual Tests addon for Storybook: You can now run Chromatic tests directly inside Storybook, without needing to leave development or wait for CI pipelines to complete. This workflow turns visual testing from taking minutes to seconds. ⭐️ Visual testing integrations for Playwright & Cypress: We’re the core team behind Storybook, and we made Chromatic for Storybook. But we often get asked about Chromatic integrations for other tools. Chromatic 3 brings the answers, with our first ever integrations for Playwright & Cypress! ⭐️ TurboSnap: Chromatic 3 features the full release of TurboSnap, a configuration setting that streamlines your visual tests to only capture new snapshots of UI that changed. This optimization saves you up to 80% of costs per test run, while also freeing up CI resources and saving time! ⭐️ 4x faster visual tests: Chromatic 3 brings new refinements to our capture cloud, meaning your visual tests can now complete 4x faster than they did a year ago. Getting started with Chromatic is free. No credit card information is required and you get 5,000 free snapshots per month. Alternatively, you can upgrade to paid plans for higher coverage amounts and additional features 🙌
