Sauce Labs Visual Testing

About this plugin

Bring the power of automated visual regression testing directly into your design workflow. With the Sauce Labs Figma plugin, your Figma designs become the single source of truth for UI quality—no more screenshots, guesswork, or manual comparisons.

Sync your designs as test baselines, run full-screen or component-level checks, and instantly spot regressions before they reach production. It bridges design and QA, cuts manual error-prone steps, and keeps releases pixel-perfect.

Beta Release

Key Features:

1. Baseline from Figma: Use your designs as the baseline for automated visual testing
2. Flexible scope: Test entire screens or individual components with ease.
3. Streamlined handoff: Automatically transfer designs into the QA pipeline, no extra exports needed
4. Naming conventions preserved: Figma layer and component names carry through into the test reports
5. Actionable results: See test outcomes in context, mapped back to the extract design elements

Who it’s for:

1. Designers: Validate the final production matches the intended designs
2. QA teams: Reduce time spent setting up baselines and analyzing visual bugs
3. Developers: Catch pixel-level changes before they cause regressions downstream.

Why teams love it:

1. Eliminate manual screenshot comparisons
2. Speed up design-to-QA- handoff
3. Ensure design fidelity through every release
4. Reduce risk of visual regression

How it works:

1. Install the plugin Figma
2. Sign in with your Sauce Labs credentials
3. Select the frame or component you want to baseline
4. Send it directly into your visual regression tool
5. Run builds and instantly catch mismatches

Key outcomes:

The Sauce Visual Figma plugin improves engineering efficiency by automating the manual handling of design exports and screenshots. This allows visual testing to begin immediately as development starts, which increases the velocity of innovation by enabling developers to catch visual regressions right after code changes. By ensuring pixel-perfect fidelity to the intended design, the feature strengthens risk and compliance management and prevents unnoticed UI issues from reaching production.
