@vitest.dev already renders your components in a real browser. Now you can visually test them there, with no test code changes. 🎙️ @ariperkkio.dev, the Vitest core maintainer who built our new plugin, is doing a live walkthru with @kylegach.com to show you how. 🎟️ Save your spot 👇

Run your tests as usual. Chromatic then: ✔️ Compares snapshots across stable cloud browsers ✔️ Runs every browser and viewport in parallel ✔️ Surfaces visual changes in your PR for team review ✔️ Stores the full rendered UI behind every diff (3/4)

Vitest core maintainer, @ariperkkio.dev, built the plugin around Browser Mode tests. As your tests run, Chromatic captures a web archive of each result: the HTML, CSS, JS & assets behind the UI. When something is off, open that exact state in a browser instead of debugging a flat screenshot. (2/4)

Trends dashboard charts all factors that affect billed snapshots: no. of builds you run, snapshots generated by each build, and the average cost per snapshot. This helps you see what's driving usage usage and investigate unexpected increases.

Trends dashboard displays a line chart showing billed snapshots over 156 weeks, highlighting different contributing factors.

TurboSnap now bypasses builds when there are no changes in any story’s dependency graph within that build. Nothing is captured, nothing is copied, and you’re charged zero snapshots.

CLI output for a Chromatic build that was bypassed. It confirms how many snapshots were bypassed and that this build will not be displayed in the Chromatic webapp UI.

Automatic flaky-test filtering

Chromatic now auto-detects unstable tests, so you can focus on real changes without getting blocked by flakes

Chromatic @chromatic.com · 14/07/2026

Bonus: you can now ignore any test manually too. New story not ready for review? Weird diff after a rebase? Set it aside and come back later.

Chromatic @chromatic.com · 14/07/2026

Ignoring a flaky test doesn't mean ignoring the problem. Every unstable test gets a Playwright trace attached automatically (network, console, DOM) ready to reivew when you are.

Flake Filter renders every test multiple times to check its stability. Unstable ones move into an auto-ignored group. Their diffs stop blocking your build.

Visual bugs don't always show up in your test suite. Kyle Gach from Chromatic shares how visual testing complements Vitest Browser Mode, helping catch the layout, styling, and responsive regressions that traditional component tests can miss. Early access is now open: tympanus.net/codrops/?p=1...

Vitest already has visual testing. How is this better? ✔️ Fast and reliable servers consistently snapshot components in parallel ✔️ Automatically detect and reduce flakiness ✔️ Review and debug the real code behind your components, not screenshots

Why visual test? For UI, checking that something works with functional tests doesn’t tell the full story. Your Add to Cart button may technically be clickable, but if it looks untrustworthy or broken, no one will click it. Visual tests guard against that, with no extra code.

Vitest + assertions above a screenshot of code. Vitest + visual tests above a screenshot of code half the length of the prior one. Visual tests cover more with less code.
