I have a similar pipeline set up at work -- it's surprisingly valuable.

CSS is rife with potential to cause faraway effects. Catching these regressions is very satisfying.

It's also useful to get a survey of all of your UX. Being able to see everything at once has helped us to improve the dark corners of our app/site and see patterns where we can extract into a design system

Running mobile width screenshots has been awesome. Designing/developing for mobile first doesn't always happen and this surfaces areas that need responsive work pretty effectively.

Currently working on a Testing framework use Sikuli which takes this is a step up and tests interaction. Can be used on any apps - not just websites. Sikuli uses opencv to handle interactions. It's hard to test things like drag drop, html canvas and resizing. let me know if anyone is interested. Will be open source and produces visual test outputs.

It's not complete yet - but I did my best to document basic usage.

Cool, thanks! I'll be keeping an eye on it. I thought Sikuli had some real potential for this that seemed unrealized. Good luck!
