Ghost Inspector

Ghost Inspector is a service for testing websites and web apps with an automated browser. It launched in 2014 and checks that pages still work and look right, then raises an alert when something breaks.

What Ghost Inspector offers

• Test recorder — captures user flows in the browser and turns them into reusable tests.
• No-code editor — actions, assertions and selectors can be adjusted without programming.
• JavaScript steps — conditions, variables and reusable modules for complex cases.
• Scheduled monitoring — tests run at set intervals or times.
• Visual testing — screenshots compare against a baseline across browsers and screen sizes.

Who it works with

Developers, QA leads and product managers, from first-time testers to experienced engineers. Alerts reach Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, GitHub and email, and plugins link to CI tools such as Jenkins.
