#2I've used gatling on a few redesigns with success
https://github.com/gabrielrotbart/gatling
I have some tweaks i was going to merge in that gave the diff's as %'s (so you could ignore small differences like fonts being different) as well as animate between the two versions. On my TODO was grabbing the actual element style attributes and then actually just diffing that, so the differences would be more or less spelled out.
Still, cool stuff!

#3This looks promising. Our project has a plethora of selenium tests, but they're focused on functionality only, not appearance. We can tell there is a table, button, link, form, etc. and click it. On that side we're reliable.
But we really let ourselves down sometimes with regressions to the look and feel of the application.
Are there any competitor tools for this visual testing ?

#6So.. is this just a lot of wrappers around wraith? Or something else?

#7This is neat. Recently started doing Selenium tests with Scrutinizer CI, but we've had issues where the UI is broken and we find out a day later... I'll definitely keep an eye out for you guys

We (Harry's) have released a tool called Kontrast: https://github.com/harrystech/kontrast, http://engineering.harrys.com/2014/09/24/kontrast.html
It's written in Ruby but is not really dependent on Rails or anything to run. We use it to compare a list of URLs between the version we are currently testing in CircleCI and our production site. Any differences are highlighted in a nice gallery and we get a message in our Hipchat room.

Actually it's all home grown, right now it renders the page and screenshots in Firefox 38 ESR and then the actual diff image is produced by imagemagick's compare function, with some special things around it to handle edge cases with width/height differences and some others.
