• ProjectDoes this CSS meet the standards you set?

Techniques

Frozen DOMWith Frozen DOM tests, the idea is to take a snapshot of the DOM structure of the page you wish to test and the styles that are currently applied to those DOM elements.

Image DiffWhen you are happy your page looks how it should, take a screenshot. Whenever a new change is made anywhere in the project, take another screenshot and compare the differences. If there are none, everything looks how it should, if there are differences, something broke.
