BackstopJS is a powerful visual regression testing tool for web applications. It allows developers to compare visual differences between different versions of a website or web application, helping to catch unintended changes in the UI caused by code updates. BackstopJS captures screenshots of web pages and generates reports highlighting any visual discrepancies, making it easier to maintain design consistency and quality.

Compared to other visual regression testing tools like Percy or Applitools, BackstopJS is open-source and provides a flexible configuration to suit different testing needs. It is actively maintained and regularly updated with new features and improvements.
