About Ghost Inspector
Ghost Inspector is a commercial, no-code browser testing platform for websites and web applications. Users record end-to-end tests with a web recorder, adjust them in a codeless editor, and then run them on demand or on a schedule to monitor that key flows keep working.
Codeless features include email testing, visual and accessibility testing, API and third-party integrations, and configurable browsers, screen sizes and geolocations. Advanced capabilities for experienced testers add JavaScript execution, CI/CD pipeline integrations, data-driven testing and version control with source storage. The vendor addresses QA testers, engineers and product managers, advertises SOC 2 verified security, offers a free trial and demo, and provides a browser extension.
