Summary
This post provides concrete YAML examples for integrating visual testing into Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions. It details the necessary tasks (HTTP Check, Capture Build Environment Variables, Run Visual Tests) and demonstrates how to configure environment variables like APPLITOOLS_API_KEY, RUNWHERE, and TEST_START_PAGE for both platforms. For GitHub Actions, it shows how to use `::set-env` to persist environment variables and includes a step for setting the Java version.
