Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
