Layout Validation Using Generative AI: A New Approach to Ensuring UI Consistency
In modern software development, ensuring visual alignment and layout accuracy across multiple platforms presents significant challenges that are not fully addressed by traditional testing methods, such as end-to-end (E2E) tests. While E2E tests focus on functional verification, they fail to identify layout-related issues, such as misplacement of UI elements, misalignments, or overlaps. This paper introduces a novel approach for automated layout validation using generative AI. The proposed method compares the rendered UI against a baseline design system, which can be any design tool like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD. The process involves capturing screenshots of the rendered page, comparing these screenshots with the design specifications, detecting discrepancies, and generating reports for further review. The solution is designed to work across mobile, tablet, and web platforms, ensuring consistent design implementation and providing a more effective approach to cross-platform layout validation.
