Storybook-first UI testing

Chromatic is a visual testing and UI review platform from the Storybook team. It publishes Storybook builds, captures component snapshots, compares visual changes against approved baselines, and gives teams a pull-request review workflow for UI regressions. The platform is strongest for design systems, component libraries, and frontend teams that already use Storybook as the source of truth for reusable UI states.

Testing and review surface

Beyond basic visual diffs, Chromatic documents interaction testing through Storybook play functions, accessibility checks, UI Review, TurboSnap for affected-component test selection, SteadySnap flake reduction, Playwright and Cypress support, and Storybook MCP context for AI-agent workflows. These features make it a collaboration layer for developers, designers, QA, and product reviewers rather than only a screenshot storage service.

Current pricing and fit

Current public pricing lists Free at $0 with 5,000 snapshots per month, Starter at $179 per month with 35,000 snapshots, Pro at $399 per month with 85,000 snapshots and custom-domain support, and Enterprise as custom for higher usage, SSO, custom Git integrations, SLA, priority support, and retention needs. Snapshot volume, browser coverage, CI cadence, and baseline governance should be modeled before choosing a tier.

Rampart

Microsoft’s pytest-native red teaming framework for turning AI agent safety findings into CI tests.

RAMPART is an open-source Microsoft framework for safety and security testing of agentic AI applications. It brings red-team findings into a pytest-native workflow so teams can turn prompt injection, unsafe tool use, and behavioral boundary failures into repeatable regression tests. The strongest aicoolies angle is developer workflow: RAMPART makes agent safety part of CI/CD instead of a one-off security review.
