Argos

New in Argos: secure GitHub Actions authentication without long-lived tokens. Argos can now authenticate uploads from GitHub Actions using GitHub OIDC, so you no longer need to store an ARGOS_TOKEN secret in your repository. For pull requests from forks, where OIDC is not always available, Argos automatically falls back to a safer tokenless flow. That means one workflow can support both internal PRs and external contributions, without exposing secrets. https://lnkd.in/e5_3z_q6

We just shipped tag-based filtering on Argos. When you’re reviewing hundreds or thousands of screenshots, scrolling isn’t a strategy. Tags let you focus instantly on what matters: • A single Storybook story • A given environment like mobile or dark mode You can: • Use automatic tags from metadata (viewport, browser, color scheme, etc.) • Add your own tags directly from the SDK • Combine multiple tags to narrow results Also works across test-level and snapshot-level tags. The goal is simple: reduce noise and make reviews faster and more reliable. Read more in our changelog https://lnkd.in/eYUsSKAe

Today we shipped Auto-ignore flaky changes in Argos. When a screenshot diff appears repeatedly and Argos detects that it’s the exact same change across builds, the Argos bot will automatically ignore it. • No manual triage. • No noisy PRs. • No wasted review time. In practice this unlocks something we’ve been aiming for a while: Self-healing visual test suites. Instead of developers repeatedly reviewing the same flaky diff, Argos learns from history and removes the noise automatically. The result: • fewer false positives • faster reviews • more trust in visual tests https://lnkd.in/epUCQpsn

We migrated Argos from Heroku Postgres → AWS. ◆ 300GB database ◆ 250M rows ◆ 1 minute maintenance windows In this post we share the full migration playbook and lessons learned. https://lnkd.in/etRrUGPf

We’re excited to announce that Argos now supports SAML SSO for teams on the Enterprise plan. Enterprise customers can now: 🔐 Configure SAML in Team Settings → Security & Privacy 👥 Automatically add users to the team on first SAML login 🛡 Enforce SAML authentication for all team members 🔗 Share a team-specific login URL that shows only the SAML option This makes it easier to manage access through your identity provider while strengthening your organization’s security and compliance posture. If you’re on Enterprise, you can set it up today. Learn more in our documentation: https://lnkd.in/eeuTdiWN

We let an AI agent design a core algorithm for our visual testing engine. Not a demo. Not a toy. A real diff fingerprinting algorithm now running in production. AI wrote the first version and ported it to Rust Result: ~3x faster on large diffs https://lnkd.in/eE-gPiX6

We just released a new feature: Subset builds. You can now run Argos on a partial test suite by marking a build as subset. Removed screenshots are automatically ignored, so you only review what actually ran. This makes feature branch validation faster without compromising visual feedback. https://lnkd.in/ePfuytEs

We just shipped the Tests dashboard. A project-wide view of all your tests, ranked by flakiness. Instead of guessing where noise comes from, you immediately see which tests are unstable and worth fixing first. This is another building block in Argos flaky test management.

Pivot scaled from a small team to 25 plus engineers in under two years. Testing needed to scale with them. They built their strategy around Argos and Playwright from day one. No brittle assertions. Screenshots as the contract. Visual diffs as the signal. Result • Stable end to end tests with near zero maintenance • Visual regressions caught before production • Clear feedback directly in pull requests • More confidence to ship, faster “We wanted confidence, not complexity.” Estelle Giuly, Co founder and CTO at Pivot Full story 👇 https://lnkd.in/eeUeDMne

High-precision financial charts demand precision beyond traditional assertions. At Finviz, even a single pixel shift in a chart can signal a real regression in data rendering. So they layered Argos visual testing on top of their Playwright E2E suite to catch those differences early in CI. With Argos integrated, Finviz now gets: • pixel-level visual diffs on desktop and mobile • visual feedback directly in pull requests • confidence that chart rendering remains correct across devices and changes • faster, safer releases without manual review scaling pain Finviz CTO Vojtech Gintnersums it up: visual testing isn’t just UI styling protection it’s functional validation for their charts. Read the full story on how Argos helps Finviz guard visual quality and ship with confidence. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHFncYyY
