Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
