We’ve added a new Smart Ignore feature in SmartUI to make visual testing smoother and more accurate, especially for dynamic, content-heavy software applications. This feature can distinguish between actual content changes and minor element shifts, reducing the false positives often found with pixel-by-pixel comparisons.
Here’s how Smart Ignore can help you:
Currently, we have released the Smart Ignore feature in beta. You can enable Smart Ignore for free by contacting our sales team.
