Writing visual tests is the latest trend since 2017, as the traditional automated tests are not fit for finding bugs, which are troublesome for the users when a particular field exists on the page, but on a wrong location! If the username and password fields of a login form are kept on the right place without having login button nearby, this will make the life of a user complex. Surprisingly, regular automated tests still pass since they find the same object existing on the page. This is where the primary need for visual testing comes into picture.
