Introducing Layout Testing for Visual Testing

What's this blog post about?

Percy introduces support for layout testing (alpha), allowing users to evaluate webpage layouts for changes in positioning, styling, and content structure. This feature helps maintain a consistent user experience by highlighting visual inconsistencies in element presentation and arrangement. Layout testing is especially useful for cross-environment testing, ensuring that the page structure remains intact across different operating systems, browsers, devices, viewport sizes, and orientations. The layout diffing feature focuses on validating the structure of page layouts without verifying content alterations.
