Why customers prefer Ghost Inspector
I have been using Ghost Inspector on the job for about 3 years now, and I can’t imagine going back to Selenium. The amount of time Ghost Inspector SAVES you when you are recording and writing your tests is amazing. Need a test to check your contact us page? 15 minutes, how about a test to book a hotel room, and check that you received the email to a certain email address? 30 minutes tops.

We manage 39 sites, with Ghost Inspector, we can do over 130+ (and growing) tests daily to ensure nothing has gone wrong, it allows us to ensure our content is showing as expected and spot and solve errors before our key users realize it’s there.
It also helps us to do very powerful regression tests before we release new features on the test environment, avoiding rollbacks (and drama!) on the production servers.
Ignacio G, Project Manager, G2
The victory for us is how Ghost Inspector has changed the face of QA in our company. We are beginning to grow what I believe is a QA culture—even our chairman writes Ghost Inspector tests now!
