Frame Buffer Hashing for Visual Regression on Embedded Devices

I run test automation for a graphics team that ships software to streaming devices. About a year ago, we changed how our visual regression suite stores and compares its references. The old approach kept around 18GB of PNG golden images in the test repo and ran a pixel-by-pixel diff on every comparison. The new approach stores around 19KB of MD5 hashes in a JSON file and compares hash strings. Storage dropped by roughly three orders of magnitude. Comparisons became effectively free. A category of
