At DSF, we use visual regression testing with Percy, to maintain the reliability and visual consistency of our design system’s developer assets during updates. In this post, we’ll explore how Percy fits into our workflow and the benefits it provides.

The design system has been updated to version 3.0.0. This is a total redesign of the design system, with branding and styling changes. The new version includes improvements on existing components, as well as new design elements to accommodate services and websites alike. 

Creating new design elements presents a challenge, as we must make sure they can be used by everyone. In our latest service, we introduced new components and patterns and tried to make them as usable and accessible as possible, with special focus on making them screen reader-friendly.

We have updated the design system community Figma library to reflect the changes in the Design System. You can use the library for rapid design and prototyping using the gov.cy design system by DSF.
