91: Dominic Nguyen on Chromatic and Visual Regression Testing

Dominic Nguyen joins us to talk about visual regression testing for design systems with chromatic — the important differences between snapshot testing and visual testing, why the component construct was the missing piece, and how chromatic gives teams confidence.

Chromatic’s free plan will be hitting shelfves next week.
We are ahead of it by just a few days.
But if you want to try it out today,
Start a 30-day trial and switch to the new, free plan next week.
