# Delta-QA — Full Content Index for LLMs

> Delta-QA is a visual regression testing tool for web pages. It detects unintended visual changes (CSS, layout, content, accessibility) by comparing snapshots of a page across versions. The product is no-code (record-and-replay), runs locally by default for full data sovereignty, and compares the visual rendering deterministically — it flags only what a human eye would notice, beyond simple pixel diff, and not AI. Available as a free desktop app for macOS and Windows, and as a SaaS / On-Premise platform for teams. Made in France. This document is the long-form, machine-readable reference for LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) and AI search engines.

This file extends `llms.txt` with the full blog index, FAQ, competitor comparison tables, use cases, and pricing.

## Detection Categories

Delta-QA detects 38+ types of regressions, grouped into 12 categories:

- [Colors & Themes](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/colors/) — color shifts, theme switches, gradient differences, dark-mode issues.
- [Typography](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/typography/) — font family, size, weight, line-height, letter-spacing changes.
- [Layout](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/layout/) — flexbox, grid, positioning, margin, padding shifts; overlap and reflow bugs.
- [Borders & Shadows](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/borders/) — border width, radius, color, box-shadow changes.
- [Visibility & Opacity](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/visibility/) — hidden elements, opacity, visibility, z-index, display:none regressions.
- [Forms & States](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/forms/) — input styles, focus / hover / disabled states, validation indicators.
- [Animations](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/animations/) — transition, transform, keyframe differences (compared at stable states, not mid-animation).
- [Images & SVG](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/images/) — image sizing, SVG fill, aspect ratio, broken-asset detection.
- [Responsive](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/responsive/) — breakpoint-dependent layout and visibility shifts.
- [Modern CSS](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/modern/) — container queries, cascade layers, subgrid, has(), color-mix() regressions.
- [Real Components](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/components/) — cards, navbars, dashboards, pricing grids, modals.
- [Subtle Changes](https://delta-qa.com/en/detects/subtle/) — anti-aliasing, subpixel rendering, sub-1px shifts that pixel diff would falsely flag.

## How It Works

Delta-QA is powered by Playwright under the hood, but wraps it in a no-code interface that hides all technical complexity. No code, no configuration, no terminal — just enter a URL and compare. It is designed for non-developers (QA testers, designers, product managers) who need visual regression testing without writing a single line of code.

Delta-QA renders each page in a real browser and captures its **rendered state**. The comparison phase then reports every visual difference a human eye would notice — and only those — classified as info, warning, or breaking based on visibility heuristics (above-the-fold, interactive element, etc.). Rendering noise such as anti-aliasing or subpixel shifts is not flagged.

Because the algorithm is deterministic, **the same input always produces the same output**. There is no model drift, no AI hallucination, no probabilistic "match score" to interpret. A failure means a real CSS change occurred — not a guess.

The desktop app is **completely free** and available for download on the [Get Started page](https://delta-qa.com/en/get-started/).

### What is visual regression testing?
Visual regression testing is the practice of automatically detecting unintended visual changes in a web page or application after a code, content, or dependency change. It works by comparing the rendered output (DOM, CSS, screenshot) of the current version with a previously approved baseline. Any difference is surfaced for human review.

### How is visual testing different from functional testing?
Functional tests verify that a feature **works** (the button submits, the API returns 200). Visual tests verify that the feature **looks right** (the button is visible, aligned, the right color, not overlapping). A button can pass every functional test while being invisible to the user — visual testing catches that blind spot.

### What is a baseline in visual testing?
A baseline is the approved reference snapshot of a page or component. Future test runs are compared against this baseline. When the UI changes intentionally, the team approves the new state, and it becomes the new baseline. Baseline management is one of the hardest parts of visual testing in code-based tools.

### Pixel diff, perceptual hash, or rendering-based comparison — which is best?
Pixel diff is fastest but produces many false positives (anti-aliasing, font rendering). Perceptual hashing tolerates minor differences but misses real regressions. Delta-QA compares the visual rendering and flags only what a human eye would notice, beyond simple pixel-by-pixel — eliminating both false positives and false negatives. Pixel diff is fine for static design assets; a rendering-aware approach is required for live web pages.

### Does AI-powered visual testing work?
AI visual testing (Applitools Visual AI, Meticulous) trains models to decide whether a difference "matters." It reduces some false positives but introduces non-determinism: the same input can yield different verdicts across runs or model versions. For audit-critical industries (finance, healthcare, government), determinism beats AI. See [AI and the Future of Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/ai-visual-testing-future-artificial-intelligence/).

### How do you handle dynamic content like dates, ads, or A/B tests?
Three strategies: (1) **mask** the dynamic regions so they are excluded from comparison; (2) **freeze** time and randomness in test mode (mock dates, disable ads); (3) **layout-only** comparison that ignores text content but verifies layout, spacing, and styling. Delta-QA supports all three.

### Can visual testing run in CI/CD?
Yes. Delta-QA, Playwright, BackstopJS, Percy, Applitools, and Chromatic all integrate with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps. The blocking question is whether the tool **requires** CI to function (Percy, Chromatic) or works standalone too (Delta-QA, Playwright, BackstopJS).

### How long does it take to set up visual testing?
Delta-QA Desktop: 2 minutes (download, open, capture). Playwright with toHaveScreenshot(): 1–3 days for an experienced developer. BackstopJS: 1–2 days for JSON config + scenarios. Applitools: 1–2 weeks for SDK integration, baseline curation, and team training. Chromatic: only viable if you already have Storybook (otherwise add 1–4 weeks for that).

### Do I need to be a developer to use visual testing?
Historically, yes — every mainstream tool required code (Playwright, Cypress, BackstopJS) or SDK integration (Applitools, Percy). No-code tools like Delta-QA changed that: a QA tester, designer, or product manager can record a flow by clicking and replay it without writing code.

### How many false positives should I expect?
Pixel-diff tools: 20–40% false-positive rate on real-world pages (anti-aliasing, font rendering, animations). Perceptual tools: ~5–10%. Delta-QA: 0% on a curated suite of 425+ stress-tested pages. False-positive rate is the single biggest reason teams abandon visual testing.

### Can visual testing detect accessibility regressions?
Yes — partially. It detects WCAG-relevant visual regressions: contrast ratio drops, text-size changes, focus-state losses, missing visible focus rings, hidden interactive elements. It does not replace dedicated a11y tools like axe-core, but catches regressions those tools miss because the issue is visual, not in the DOM. See [WCAG Accessibility and Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/wcag-accessibility-visual-testing-guide/).

### Does visual testing work cross-browser?
Yes, but not all tools handle it equally. Each browser renders fonts and anti-aliasing slightly differently, which produces noise in pixel-diff tools. Tools that compare the visual rendering rather than raw pixels (Delta-QA) or use a tolerant perceptual algorithm (Applitools) handle cross-browser gracefully. See [Cross-Browser Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/cross-browser-visual-testing/).

### What about responsive testing?
Visual testing tools capture each viewport you configure (e.g. 360px, 768px, 1280px, 1920px). They detect breakpoint regressions, overlap on mobile, and content reflow issues. Delta-QA defaults to 5 viewports; this is configurable.

### How does visual testing handle Storybook components?
Two approaches: (1) **isolated** — test each Storybook story (Chromatic, Lost Pixel, Percy + Storybook). Catches component-level regressions. (2) **integrated** — test the actual page where components compose (Delta-QA, Playwright). Catches layout interactions between components. Mature teams use both. See [Storybook and Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/storybook-visual-testing-components-guide/).

### Is my screenshot data safe in the cloud?
Depends on the tool. Applitools, Percy, Chromatic store screenshots on third-party cloud (AWS / GCP). For regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government, defense) this is often a blocker — screenshots can contain PII, internal-only UIs, unreleased features. Delta-QA Desktop and On-Premise keep all data on your infrastructure. See [GDPR and Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/gdpr-visual-testing-data-sovereignty/).

### How do I justify the budget for visual testing?
Calculate the cost of a single visual regression that reaches production: lost conversions on an e-commerce site (often €500–€5,000/day per visible bug), brand damage, hotfix overhead, customer-support tickets. Compare that to the tool's annual cost. ROI is usually paid back by preventing 1–3 incidents per year. See [Visual Testing ROI Calculator](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-roi-calculator-enterprise/).

### Can visual testing replace manual QA?
No — and it shouldn't. Visual testing replaces the **repetitive** part of manual visual QA (re-checking 50 pages after each release). It frees QA engineers to focus on exploratory testing, edge cases, and user-experience review where human judgment is irreplaceable.

### What's the difference between snapshot testing and visual testing?
Snapshot testing (Jest, Vitest) serializes a component's rendered output to a string and compares strings. Visual testing renders the actual page in a browser and compares the visual result. Snapshot testing misses CSS issues entirely (the string is identical even if the page looks broken); visual testing catches them.

### Should every page be visually tested?
No. Prioritize: (1) high-traffic pages, (2) conversion pages (checkout, signup, pricing), (3) pages with complex layouts where multiple components interact, (4) pages whose breakage is expensive (legal, billing). Internal admin pages used by 3 people once a week are lower priority. See [Visual Testing Pre-Release Checklist](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-pre-release-checklist/).

### How does Delta-QA compare to free tools like BackstopJS or Playwright?
Free tools work and are widely used — but they require developer skills (Node.js, JSON config, CLI, baseline management in git). Delta-QA Desktop is also free and requires zero technical skill: open the app, enter a URL, click capture. The trade-off is that BackstopJS / Playwright are scriptable for advanced custom flows; Delta-QA prioritizes accessibility for non-developers.

## Use Cases

### E-commerce — Protect conversion-critical UI
A single misaligned "Add to cart" button or invisible price field on a product page can cost thousands of euros per day. Delta-QA captures every checkout step on every release and flags any visual change before it reaches production. Read [Visual Testing for E-commerce](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-ecommerce-protect-revenue/).

### Design systems — Component + page consistency
Storybook protects components in isolation but misses real-world layout interactions. Delta-QA tests both isolated components (via story URLs) and full assembled pages, ensuring the design system stays consistent in production. Read [Storybook and Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/storybook-visual-testing-components-guide/).

### SaaS dashboards — Dark-mode and theme regressions
Dashboards have multiple themes (light, dark, high-contrast), dynamic charts, and dense data layouts. Delta-QA captures and compares all theme variants in one run, surfacing contrast losses, broken icons, and chart-rendering regressions. Read [Visual Testing for SaaS Applications](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-saas-applications/).

### Web agencies — Automate client sign-off
Agencies juggle dozens of client sites with different stacks. Delta-QA runs URL-by-URL, no integration required, producing a shareable visual diff report for client review. Read [Visual Testing for Web Agencies](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-web-agencies/).

### Regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government, defense)
Cloud visual testing tools route screenshots through US-based servers, which can violate GDPR, Schrems II, HIPAA, or industry-specific data-residency rules. Delta-QA Desktop and On-Premise keep all screenshots on your infrastructure, with zero outbound traffic to the vendor. Read [On-Premise Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/on-premise-visual-testing-keep-data/) and [GDPR and Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/gdpr-visual-testing-data-sovereignty/).

### CI/CD — Block regressions before merge
Delta-QA integrates with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps. A failed visual diff blocks the merge until the team approves the change as a new baseline. Read [Visual Testing in CI/CD](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-ci-cd-pipeline-integration-guide/), [GitHub Actions integration](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-github-actions-ci-guide/), and [GitLab CI integration](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-testing-gitlab-ci-integration/).

### Production monitoring
Staging tests don't catch regressions caused by browser updates, CDN failures, or third-party widget changes. Running Delta-QA against production URLs on a schedule surfaces "the world changed under you" regressions early. Read [Visual Monitoring in Production](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/visual-monitoring-production-regressions/).

### Accessibility regressions (WCAG)
Visual testing detects WCAG-relevant regressions that DOM-based a11y tools miss: contrast drops, text-size shrinks, focus-ring losses, hidden interactive elements. Use it alongside axe-core or Pa11y for full coverage. Read [WCAG Accessibility and Visual Testing](https://delta-qa.com/en/blog/wcag-accessibility-visual-testing-guide/).
