Head of IT Operations & Support Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A clever way to automate front-end tests on websites" January 21, 2018 5.0 Pros Being able to record and then test a particular workflow on our key websites, to ensure they are running as expected. These results can then be emailed to our team to ensure any issues are resolved quickly. Cons The 'small' price plan could be cheaper as there are users (like us) who use it infrequently. This small price plan is perhaps too generous in terms of the number of tests you can run, we don't even get close to 10,000, so their pricing could do with a few tiers below the 'small' one.

I've worked as an employee through Ghost Inspector for over a year, and during that time I had to test all of the functionalities of a website. GS provided an easy to use platform where knowing the basics of XML would be enough to complete most of the tasks. I won't speak of the pricing as I haven't been paying for it myself, but I will say it's definitely faster and cost-efficient to start with GS than to make your own framework. Cons There are certain limitations that come with a service such as this, with some of the elements not being reachable.

July 15, 2018 5.0 Pros Really easy to use, just click through your site, record all scenarios, schedule tests etc. Really easy to use for non-technical people. Cons If your site is not very static, if it has many dynamic elements, pages - you can expect that these tests will often break when you change something. This is what happened to us and we stopped using this tool because we had to fix the tests too often. If your site does not change so often, then this is a great way to know if something breaks. As the tests are run in the cloud, you cant run them on your local environment. Speed is not so good, but that does not really matter in most cases. Review Source Response from Ghost Inspector July 16, 2018 Thank you for your review! We totally hear you on test maintenance. It's one of the biggest challenges that comes with browser testing. We've got a few features (like test modularization) that are designed to help, and a few more features being developed. We know that we've still got a ways to go, but we're working to make test management as painless as possible. We hope we can offer something a little better suited to your situation in the future. Thanks again!

It is also easy to integrate with other applications and send reports of the test results. Cons The user experience should be improved, sometimes is not easy to train new colleagues on this tool but with some time investment, they stay autonomous. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use Ghost Inspector for effective high level integration testing" April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros Ghost Inspector makes it extremely easy to put together some pretty comprehensive integration tests a website or web-app. Ghost Inspector's test creation workflow is extremely easy to use, and the ability to see screenshots and videos of tests when they fail is fantastic. Cons As is often the case, I find the pricing a bit steep. We've also got some (admittedly edge-case) needs that we'd love the Chrome testing agent to be able to do (particularly around multimedia) which GI doesn't currently support, but I have hope that they'll get there eventually.

By just following the flow this tool gives you each and every step/selector/assertion to write in your code. Very easy to use for beginners. Cons There are some limitations that you face and when you have large suites/projects with more than 10 screens to run then it's not a suitable option for you.

Ghost inspector has made Qa process faster and easier. Pros Ability to automate the QA process. Seamless integration with Google chrome through an extension.

It really helps my team to assess the quality of the software we are building Pros I really like the usability of this tool and how complete is the documentation to help you create and execute test cases for your web platform Cons I think it is a little expensive for the amount of feature it offers when you compare it to other frameworks Review Source AA Amol A.
