Ghost Inspector is a User-Friendly Sauce Labs Alternative
Ghost Inspector is an end-to-end automated browser testing tool that comes with a ton of user-friendly features to help boost your QA tests.

Visual testing

Why customers prefer Ghost Inspector over Sauce Labs
Ghost Inspector makes it extremely easy to put together some pretty comprehensive integration tests for a website or web-app. Ghost Inspector’s test creation workflow is extremely easy to use, and the ability to see screenshots and videos of tests when they fail is fantastic.
Ghost Inspector User, Capterra
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 tool can be used by anyone, from non-technical employees to experienced developers. Because Javascript is allowed in the tests, it allows for incredibly powerful tests to be written.
The Ghost Inspector team is great, too. We’ve always received prompt responses to support tickets and they’ve even implemented a number of our change requests, each time very shortly after we requested it.
