Visual Comparison you can guide

Pixel-perfect comparison is rarely what you want. Real screenshots have placeholder data, timestamps, and mock content that shouldn't fail a test. Now you can tell Thunders what to ignore.

  • Custom guidance prompt: add an Instructions field on the visual compare step telling Thunders what to focus on or what to ignore (like placeholder data in your mockups).
  • Improved UI: the step now has a clearer interface with the Instructions field front and center.
  • Less rigid, more useful: the AI weighs your guidance when deciding pass or fail, so real-world tests don't break on cosmetic noise.

Use it when your design mockups have lorem ipsum, your test environment shows different user names, or your screenshots include timestamps. You define what matters, Thunders compares accordingly.
