Applitools VS Galen

"Galen is not an ultimate tool for visualtesting.

Galen is more suited for UX engineers ordevelopers.

If you don't use image comparison, youdon't really check the pixels and youdon't check what is rendered, it's morelike a tool for developers to quicklyverify that their layout is not broken. Inthis case, Galen is not an ultimate toolfor visual testing. If you want to quicklycheck pixels, of course there are a lot ofgreat tools like Applitools' tools."

Screenplay PatternVs Pageobjects

The Screenplay Pattern is an approachto writing high quality automatedacceptance tests based on goodsoftware engineering principles such asthe Single Responsibility Principle, andthe Open-Closed Principle.

It favors composition over inheritance,and employs thinking from DomainDriven Design to reflect the domain ofperforming acceptance tests, steeringyou towards the effective use of layersof abstraction. It encourages goodtesting habits and well-designed testsuites that are easy to read, easy tomaintain and easy to extend, enablingteams to write more robust and morereliable automated tests moreeffectively.
