Ghostwriter

Many websites and even applications online are built on top of a CMS. According to recent survey data, WordPress has a 60% market share, making it the most popular CMS by far. The next closest competitor, Joomla, has only 5.2%! But unlike bespoke software, many people don’t test their WordPress website.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build your own WordPress plugin using React, Webpack, and the Ghost Inspector API. Going back to server-side rendered markup with PHP feels like stepping out of a time machine. Fortunately, the modern frontend stack can be integrated with PHP fairly easily.

We just released the first version of our WordPress plugin that allows you to view Ghost Inspector test results in your WordPress.org admin dashboard. Keep reading to learn what it does and how it get it setup on your website.

The Ghost Inspector team got together for our annual company off-site in Austin, TX this year. We always plan our off-site around presenting at an industry-related event. This year we were thrilled to present to the Austin Automation Professionals Meetup on the topic of headless browsers and testing at scale.

In this blog post we’re going to take a shot at testing and deploying your Node.js app using Microsoft’s Visual Studio Team Services, Microsoft Azure, and Ghost Inspector.

A couple of the features of the Ghost Inspector application that you’re familiar with are now available in our API: Duplicate Test and Duplicate Suite.

Change breaks brittle things and one of the challenges of automated testing is to mitigate that effect as much as possible while you design tests for an ever-changing application. This is especially true with end-to-end testing being done in a web browser, since we’re interacting with our application through its GUI and touching various different layers.
