Selectable Pages for Visual Regression Testing
Mary Ivashenko
Currently, visual regression testing focuses only on the homepage, which may not reflect issues occurring on other critical pages. It would be valuable to allow users to select specific pages or URLs to include in visual regression tests. This could include landing pages, checkout pages, contact forms, or other key templates where visual integrity is important.

This is a great idea. Mary, how many pages you think would make sense to cover with testing then?
Rune Rasmussen
Yuri Gerasymov @ Diffy I'd say 5 pages is a minimum. What about you Yuri?
PS! Remember to vote when you think a feature request is a great idea. ;)

Rune Rasmussen I personally think once you get into visual regression testing there are a LOT of other things beside of just pages actually:
- breakpoints
- control the delay
- mask / remove elements from the pages (cookies popups as an example)

Yuri Gerasymov @ Diffy sure, but that's a different story: https://wp-umbrella.canny.io/features-request/p/uptime-monitoring-visual-regression-monitoring
Since you asked Mary about a number of pages, I wondered about your opinion on this same matter.
