It seems like you’re referring to “Applitools” in combination with Selenium. Applitools is an automated visual testing and monitoring tool that integrates with various testing frameworks, including Selenium, to validate the visual aspects of web and mobile applications. It’s used to ensure that the UI appears as expected across different devices and browsers.

Integration of Applitools with Selenium:

1. Set Up Applitools:

   • Sign up for an Applitools account to get your API key.
   • Install the Applitools SDK that corresponds with the programming language you are using with Selenium.

2. Configure Your Test Environment:

   • Add the Applitools dependency to your project. For instance, if you are using Maven with Java, add the Applitools Eyes SDK to your pom.xml.
   • Set your Applitools API key in your test environment. This can be done as an environment variable or directly in your test code.

3. Writing Tests with Applitools and Selenium:

   • Initialize an Eyes instance in your Selenium tests.
   • Before the test actions (like clicking, inputting text), call Eyes.open() to start visual testing.
   • Use Eyes.checkWindow() to capture screenshots at relevant points in your test.
   • After your test steps, call Eyes.close() to close the test.

4. Example in Java:

   javaCopy code

   import com.applitools.eyes.selenium.Eyes; import com.applitools.eyes.RectangleSize; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; public class ApplitoolsTest { public static void main(String[] args) { Eyes eyes = new Eyes(); eyes.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY"); WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); try { eyes.open(driver, "Hello World!", "My first Selenium Java test!", new RectangleSize(800, 600)); driver.get("http://example.com"); eyes.checkWindow("Homepage"); eyes.close(); } finally { driver.quit(); eyes.abortIfNotClosed(); } } }

5. Running Your Tests:

   • Execute your Selenium tests as usual. Applitools will capture screenshots and compare them with baseline images.
   • If differences are detected, they’ll be flagged for review in the Applitools dashboard.

6. Reviewing Test Results:

   • Use the Applitools dashboard to review test results and manage your baselines.
   • The dashboard allows for detailed inspections of visual differences.

7. Best Practices:

   • Define meaningful baselines and update them as your application’s UI evolves.
   • Use Applitools’ AI features like auto-maintenance and root cause analysis to efficiently manage visual tests.
