Things to consider when running visual tests in CI/CD pipelines: Container Pipeline Edition (Part 3)

This post, the third in a series, details running visual tests in container-based CI/CD pipelines. It explains the benefits of containerized tasks, the challenges of not having local Chrome, and how to use Docker Compose with Selenium Hub and nodes. It provides specific YAML examples for Codefresh, including defining service containers (Selenium Hub, Chrome node, Firefox node), performing HTTP checks, setting Applitools environment variables, and running visual tests with Maven. It also offers guidance for Jenkins and JFrog Pipelines, and provides a sample project for local Docker Compose experimentation.
