Summary

Ghost Inspector is an automated browser testing service that allow you to run automated tests on your websites and web applications to ensure that they are functioning properly.

Our web test recorder allows you to record yourself performing actions on your website within your browser, then sync them to the Ghost Inspector service and run them continuously as a regression test.

You can record them on your staging server and execute them through our API when your code changes — or record them on your live site and automatically run them at a set interval to continuously check for issues.

You will need to sign up for a Ghost Inspector account to use our recording tool.

Reloaded all my tabs (without asking), all at once, freezing up my computer for a couple minutes and losing my work. This happened just after logging into the extension.

Great Tool in test automation. Recording a test and running it as such or after editing the steps is a great capability of the programme. Further jump from Selenium. Scheduling a test is advantages as the situation may demand a daily test or hourly test. CSV upload of inputs is definitely an extra advantage. All together, it is a great tool.
