Question about a feature

[angyb]

I’m looking for a VRT that will not only detect color differences, but will also allow me to set a threshold for the percentage of pixels that have changed color. Does BackstopJS do that? 


Also, is Storybook required to implement BackstopJS?


My use case: I am implementing a new color palette for my web app. I’ll be mapping our old color palette to our new one; some colors don’t have exact matches. For those colors, I’ll need to pick the closest match, which may have visual impacts I can’t predict or check instance by instance beforehand because we have thousands of pages. I want to be able to map everything and then visually see what impact the color changes have in QA. I don’t need to visually check things with significant color changes if the percentage of pixels that have changed color is low, say 2%. This would account for borders, small icons, small text, and the like; although the color change may be significant, the perception of it isn’t because the element is so small.



Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

I think this is what misMatchThreshold config parameter does?
