Media Query Breakpoints
Coming soon: will detect layout changes triggered by media query breakpoints across team-defined viewport widths.
Responsive design is no longer a topic reserved for consumer sites: business applications are now consulted on tablets in meetings, on the move at customer sites, or on external screens with unusual aspect ratios. A visual regression on an intermediate breakpoint (typically 820px on iPad or 1024px on a small laptop) can render part of your application unusable without anyone noticing locally, because developers usually work on a single screen size. The classic scenario: a breakpoint moved from 768px to 480px that crushes columns on tablet, a hamburger menu replaced by a desktop menu that overflows the screen, or a mobile font-size that applies all the way to 1024px and makes every text look too small on a portable display. Container queries add a new dimension of complexity, because they depend on the parent context rather than the global viewport, which makes regressions even less predictable. Today Delta-QA captures and compares each page at a single, deterministic desktop viewport, which already catches the vast majority of visual regressions. Team-defined multi-viewport capture, which will build a multi-format visual baseline and highlight columns that stack badly, elements that overflow, text that shrinks, components that misalign, and horizontal scrollbars that appeared across every breakpoint, is coming soon. It will let QA teams cover all breakpoints without manually resizing a browser on every screen at every release.
Coming soon: will detect layout changes triggered by media query breakpoints across team-defined viewport widths.
Coming soon: will monitor @container rules that adapt component styling based on parent element dimensions.
Coming soon: will catch changes in elements using viewport units (vw, vh, dvh, svh) and viewport-relative sizing across multiple viewports.
Coming soon: will track changes in image sizing, aspect-ratio, and srcset-driven rendering across breakpoints.
A developer changes the responsive breakpoint from 768px to 480px. On desktop and mobile (375px), everything passes. But on tablet (768px), the 3 feature columns are now crushed: text is unreadable, images overlap. Your iPad visitors see a broken site. The tester checked desktop and mobile, not the in-between sizes. Today Delta-QA compares at a fixed desktop viewport; team-defined multi-viewport capture (which will catch exactly this kind of tablet breakage at each breakpoint) is coming soon.
The mobile menu (hamburger) works perfectly at 375px. But at 820px (iPad), the desktop menu displays instead... except it overflows the screen because it is designed for 1024px minimum. Menu items are cut off, your iPad visitors cannot navigate. Manually checking every component at every breakpoint is unrealistic. Today Delta-QA compares at a fixed desktop viewport; team-defined multi-viewport capture (which will surface this kind of overflow at 820px) is coming soon.
A developer adjusts a media query and the mobile font-size (14px) now applies up to 1024px instead of 768px. On a laptop, all text is slightly too small: visitors squint without understanding why. The developer was testing on a 1440px screen, everything looked fine on their end. Today Delta-QA compares at a fixed desktop viewport; team-defined multi-viewport capture (which will catch shrunken text and layout shifts at 1024px) is coming soon.
