WatirCats uses Watir-Webdriver to grab screenshots of pages at multiple widths. It also grabs and parses a site's sitemap, assuming the site map is hosted at the site_root/sitemap.xml.

Using the compare, ImageMagick is used to see if the images have differences. If they do, you'll get a visual diff in the output folder.

Some of the features:

• Responsive Screenshots
• Multiple sources for URLs, but most rely on /sitemap.xml for use
• Multiple Browsing engines. Chrome, Firefox, FirefoxESR, and support for IE
• Proxy and custom binary path support for Firefox

• ImageMagick
• Ruby 1.9.3 or greater
• Firefox
