Hey mgrimley
This is Justin, product manager for VisualTest here at SmartBear.
BitBar does not have the same "URL" screenshotting capability in the product.
SmartBear did just release a new product called VisualTest, thats slightly similar in this regard where it is an automated visual regression tool that's SDK-based.
With that said, VisualTest also doesn't have the URL Screenshots yet, but we are currently working on the first iteration of that feature (about 1~2 months to go till production, and it likely will have preset browser configurations in the first iteration), but users will be able to input a URL and get full-page screenshots from various different OS/Browser configurations.
I'm very interested in learning more about your use case surrounding the URL screenshots;
I'll list them below, but if you'd rather get on a short zoom call, that would be even better! (you can DM me here via the community messages)
- Do you use any additional features listed under the URL bar? (such as adding short selenium scripts, for example to accept cookies, etc)
- How do you determine the browsers to test on? Given that CBT does not always have the latest browsers, are you specifically looking to test older browsers?
- What is the biggest value you get out of the screenshotting feature? How does this help you make decisions?
- Do you find value in the “dom layout” difference results that CBT provides? OR are the X number of differences listed across those full-page screenshots something you usually disregard (and proceed to do a glance over at the screens)
- What kinds of differences are you looking for? Given that there should be differences across different OS, browsertype, resolution, etc. how do you determine what is right or not?
- Do you use any of the other features such as scheduling, sending emails, etc. What is the one you find most valuable and why?
