Heavy user of GI, I can confirm the product is incredibly easy to use even for non-dev people. We rely on it for our full no-regression tests and we never had to complain so far 😎
On top of that, they reply fast on Twitter and implement features every month.
This comment may sound as if I worked for them: it's definitely not the case, I'm just a super happy client 👏🏼
@troblous Thanks for the praise! Love having you as a customer, and keeping us on our toes via Twitter! 😉
@gerbz Hey Greg, unfortunately, not yet. We are planning to expand our browser ecosystem in the future, but right now, we just offer Firefox and PhantomJS in Linux environments. We've focused initially on the general "smoke" testing of applications for bugs and regressions -- meaning things that break your application in general -- as opposed to cross browser testing for browser-specific bugs. We know that's definitely something people want though, and it's one of our big initiatives this year.
It's great to see solutions like that. Hope it can fit on our needs here on Welearn. <3
@rodrigoprior Thanks Rodrigo! Feel free to try out our free tier and ping us if we can help with anything.
very cool. i am not clear on why i would use this over phantomjs in my angularjs e2e tests?
@luke_edward_ollett Thanks Luke! It's definitely a situational thing. If you've got local browser tests coded up in your repo using Protractor, Karma, etc. that can be a great approach, especially for fast local testing. I'd never advocate moving away from that.
In some cases, a project may not have that setup and/or someone without strong coding experience is tasked with testing. In those cases, Ghost Inspector tries to offer an easily solution for creating and managing tests -- along with some nice bonuses like video, screenshot comparison, alerts and more to help with the process. Some of our features can serve as a nice compliment to your own local tests, but of course, everyone should pick the tools and approaches that make sense for them.
