Animations

Animations and transitions bring interfaces to life, but they also introduce visual instability. Delta-QA freezes transitions at their computed state and captures transform values to detect any changes in motion behavior.

What we detect

1

CSS Transitions

Captures the computed state of CSS transitions, detecting changes in duration, timing function, and target properties.

2

Keyframe Animations

Freezes @keyframes at their current frame to compare animation states across page versions.

3

Hover & Interactive States

Captures :hover, :active, and other interactive state visual snapshots for comparison.

4

Transform & Origin

Detects changes in translate, rotate, scale, skew values and transform-origin modifications.

Real-world scenarios

🎯

The transition that becomes instant

A developer refactors styles and accidentally removes the 300ms transition on the dropdown menu. Without the transition, the menu pushes content below it all at once instead of sliding smoothly — the page visually "jumps." Visible consequence: elements below the menu end up shifted compared to the reference version, because the browser no longer has time to recalculate the layout gradually. It's a CSS refactor, nobody thought to retest visual interactions. Delta-QA compares screenshots of the open menu and detects the content shifts below it — the different layout stands out in the diff.

⚠️

The loader that changes style

A developer copy-pastes loader styles from another project to "harmonize" components. The new loader looks visually different: larger, with an accent color that doesn't match the brand, and a different indicator style (dotted instead of solid). It spins, so functionally it works — the team figured "it's a loader, it's fine." Delta-QA compares screenshots and highlights the differences in size, color, and shape of the loader — the component that no longer matches the reference stands out in the diff.

💡

The hover that stops working

A developer places a transparent element over buttons to handle analytics tracking. Consequence: hover no longer triggers — the mouse hovers the invisible element, not the button. Visually, buttons stay in their default color on hover, the site feels "dead." The change was about tracking, not buttons — nobody thought to check hover visual feedback. Delta-QA captures button hover states and compares screenshots: the button that no longer changes color stands out in the diff.
