Depicted (dpxdt) is a Python tool and server for visual regression testing that captures webpage screenshots via PhantomJS and generates perceptual difference images between releases. It ships as a local CLI driven by YAML configs and as a self-hostable API server for team release workflows.
Use cases
- compare webpage screenshots before and after a release
- visual regression testing in continuous deployment
- generate perceptual diff images of web pages
- screenshot local web servers from a YAML config
- integrate screenshot diffs into CI pipelines
When to choose
- you need automated visual diff checks as part of a release workflow
- you want a self-hosted screenshot diff server with a team review workflow
- you test reusable tools or pages served locally
When to avoid
- you need modern browser support - it relies on the deprecated PhantomJS
- you want an actively maintained tool - the last release was in 2016
- you need a turnkey SaaS visual testing service
