Paparazzi is a Kotlin library from Cash App that renders Android views and Jetpack Compose screens as snapshots inside plain JVM tests, without needing a device or emulator. It records golden images and verifies them on subsequent runs, generating HTML reports and diffs for visual regression testing.
Use cases
- run android screenshot tests without an emulator
- snapshot test jetpack compose ui in jvm unit tests
- catch visual regressions in android layouts in ci
- record golden images of android views
- render android layouts fast during development
- verify ui diffs on pull requests
When to choose
- you want fast, emulator-free screenshot testing for android views or compose
- you need deterministic visual regression checks in CI
- you want snapshot diffs and HTML reports from gradle tasks
When to avoid
- you need full instrumentation, real sensors, or interaction testing on a device
- your UI depends on runtime behavior paparazzi cannot emulate
- you test non-Android JVM code
