Visual Regression Testing (Chromatic, Storybook, Playwright, React, TypeScript) overview

A visual regression testing pipeline that uses Storybook to isolate UI components and Chromatic to capture pixel-perfect snapshots across every pull request. Playwright provides supplementary full-page visual comparisons for critical user flows that span multiple components. React and TypeScript power the component library with strict type safety. GitHub Actions triggers visual reviews on every PR, and Chromatic's built-in review workflow lets designers approve or reject visual changes before merge. Targeted at design-system teams that need to prevent accidental UI regressions across hundreds of components. The tradeoff is snapshot storage costs and false positives from sub-pixel rendering differences across browser versions.
