Chromatic

Visual testing and UI review platform

Overview

Chromatic provides visual testing and UI review for frontend teams. It works by linking code to a shared workspace where designers, product managers, and engineers request reviews of interface changes, with automated reviewer assignment on pull requests and a company-wide, auto-updating UI component catalog. It differentiates itself by combining visual testing, design-system-aware reviews, and scalable collaboration in one platform, going beyond basic visual checks. Its goal is to help teams ship visually consistent, bug-free interfaces at scale for billions of users.
