Create an App Percy project
Learn how to create an App Percy project.
App Percy is an all-in-one visual testing and review platform that allows you to run visual tests using either the BrowserStack SDK or the Percy SDK. To test your UI across browsers using Percy, you need to integrate your test suites with Percy.
You can integrate visual testing with App Percy using:
- BrowserStack SDK: This simplifies testing by combining functional and visual tests in a single pipeline using BrowserStack’s Automate platform. You can run your functional tests on multiple combinations of browsers and devices on BrowserStack, while the visual tests are run on Percy in parallel.
- Percy SDK: With this, you can manually integrate Percy with your functional automated testing and use the Percy dashboard for visual testing.
Based on your SDK selection, refer to the appropriate section for detailed instructions on creating a project and executing your visual tests.
When using the BrowserStack SDK, Percy automatically creates a project with the project name specified in the BrowserStack configuration file. This allows you to seamlessly integrate your tests and perform both functional and visual tests.
