Short answer

How can I manage Applitorius visual baselines with my AI?

Your AI agent can pull lists of existing baselines, check specific branch states, and remove outdated visual snapshots. This gives you direct control over your visual testing environment without manual dashboard navigation.

Where every change lands.

Baseline management outcomes

The AI organizes your visual testing data into these specific categories.

LISTING

Current baseline status

The AI pulls a full list of your existing visual baselines. You get a clear view of what is currently active in your environment.

BRANCHES

Branch-specific states

Your agent identifies baselines tied to specific branches. This helps you isolate visual changes between different development paths.

CLEANUP

Removing old data

The AI identifies and deletes baselines that are no longer relevant. This keeps your visual testing suite clean and accurate.

HUMAN

Manual review required

You still decide which baselines are actually outdated. The AI provides the data and performs the deletion, but you hold the final authority.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Applitorius data layer.

  1. Audit baselines

    The agent scans your account to find all active visual snapshots.

    list_baselines

  2. Check branches

    The agent looks specifically for visual states tied to your development branches.

    list_branch_baselines

  3. Identify targets

    The AI presents the specific baseline IDs that match your description of 'outdated' or 'old'.

    list_baselines

  4. Execute deletion

    Once you confirm, the agent removes the specified visual state from the system.

    delete_baseline

FAQ

How the management task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI create new visual baselines?

    No. The current tools only allow you to list and delete existing baselines.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete baselines without asking me?

    No. The AI performs the deletion only after you explicitly instruct it to do so in the chat.

  • 03

    Can I see which branch a baseline belongs to?

    Yes, by using the tool to list branch-specific states.

  • 04

    Does the AI manage my visual test code?

    No. This connector manages the visual baseline data in Applitorius, not your application code.

  • 05

    Can I list baselines for a specific project?

    Yes, the AI can retrieve the list of baselines available in your account.
