Baseline Management

The Baseline Management feature lets you oversee the approved visual snapshots from your tests. It allows you to track visual regressions through time and check baselines for different branches and projects. Additionally, you can view the baseline history, download images, and view associated build details.

While logged in to Sauce Labs, you can access this feature by clicking "Visual -> Baselines" in the side navigation.

Baselines Page​

The Baselines page allows you to view all accepted snapshots in a project and branch. Select a Project at the top and then Branch to view baselines. If these are not set for your tests, all baselines will be displayed together under the (not set) option.

You can further filter baselines by OS, browser, or device. Options to sort and group are also available.
