BackstopJS Version 3.1: New UI, Usability Features, Docker Container, Optimizations.

Today, BackstopJS visual regression testing turns 3.1 and It is a BIG ONE! 

We’ve got shiny new UI, optimizations for chrome-headless, a new docker container and long-awaited usability features that are sure to razz your lemur!

Our fantastic react-based redesign is brought to you by Italian stylist-engineer Gabrielle Mantovani — if you like what you see please show some ❤️ and tweets @mantovanig_it

TLDR?

Get it on Github https://garris.github.io/BackstopJS/ or NPM...

npm install backstopjs -g

New usability highlights

Scenario name filtering — for quick browsing/searching for related, grouped or individual scenarios.

Customizable layout settings — lets you change up your result card display to match your presentation needs.

A smarty-pants, re-imagined scrubber mode — makes critical comparisons much easier to do.

Docker

With this update we are officially announcing a new BackstopJS Docker container https://hub.docker.com/r/backstopjs/backstopjs/ — with synchronized version tagging. Many thanks to Leonid Makarov https://blog.docksal.io/@lmakarov from http://Docksal.io and Iain Munro @Iain1711 for helping us get set-up for this!

All the rest

We also have a round of bug fixes and optimizations for Chrome Headless including improved port management.

A big thank-you to all the engineers who GENEROUSLY put in their own time on features, testing, helping with issues and all other kinds of support!
