Make Automation Testing Quicker with Ghost Inspector in Software Development

Introduction

Software application testing is one of the standard practices in the industry. It helps to deliver the quality in web app development, mobile app development, or any software development project in contention. As it has a direct impact on the user experience and performance of the application, many companies have drenched the software application testing process deep into their development ecosystem.

There are two types of software testing: Manual Testing and Automated Testing. In this blog, we will learn briefly about the automation testing and one of the automation testing tools named Ghost Inspector.

Why do we need automation testing?

Innovations in the technology world have been incredible and this juggernaut is not going to stop it seems. As it is a part and parcel for software development companies, they have been looking to avoid manual testing which is time-consuming apparently. This is where automation testing tools come into the picture.

There are a lot of automation tools available in the market which Quality Analysts (QA) engineers could use to fulfill the requirements of websites, web applications, and mobile applications. Automation testing tools are easy to adopt that could also be used by non-technical people too. Great, isn’t it?

Automation testing increases the team’s efficiency by many folds. The key role of automation testing include:

• Absolute accuracy

• Reusability of test case

• Better test results reporting

• Improved test case coverage

• Easy and faster bug detection

What are Ghost Inspector Automation Tools in Website Testing?

There are so many reasons behind choosing ghost inspector as automation tools in various projects, it is easy to understand for non-technical users as well as programming/coding language knowledge is not required. If someone knows JavaScript programming, it would be a plus to make scenario-wise dynamic test cases to fulfill the advanced level of automation testing.

I have tried to outline the immediate benefits of using a ghost inspector.

• Ghost Inspector has made the QA process quicker and seamless.

• Ghost Inspector is a codeless automated testing product that allows you to easily create and run in different automated browser tests for your websites and software applications.

• Ghost Inspector provides unicode compliance, hierarchical view, move & copy, parameterized testing, requirements-based testing, and other functionalities. It helps partials and variables enable fast test creation.

• It is possible to create the dynamic variable for repeating the use of name & email address, using an in-built dynamic email provides email confirmation functionality as well so we don’t need Gmail, yahoo, or third-party email generation and verification tools.

• It is allowed to use a simple text editor for creating the test cases.

• I give facilities like Screenshot comparison & Videos of every test run. It’s straightforward to record test cases and Very user-friendly for recording video.

• It is allowed for Data-Driven testing and simultaneously Extensive Integrations for every test case.

• As compared to others these tools require minimal effort to migrate to another tool like Selenium.

• Ghost Inspector provides features like Move & Copy, Hierarchical View, Dynamic Parameterized Testing, Requirements-Based Testing, and other such functionalities.

Ghost Inspector primarily focuses on function testing and also supports end-to-end testing with run-time scope. We have to schedule time for the test case as per our choices so we don’t need to take care of time, it is automatically run as per scheduled time & gives the result via Email notification and Alerts, and due to that reason it reduces the QA overhead time.

It is licensed but is cost-effective when compared to other automation tools, excellent customer service provider, and offers lower risks and costs. It also has detailed documentation for easy understanding for any user. Secondly, 30-40 in-parallel tests for cheap and ultra-stable functional UI regression and exploratory testing solutions reduce grunt work and accelerate delivery.

Limitations of Ghost Inspector Automation Tools

On the other hand, there are a few drawbacks as well selecting these tools for automation testing.

This tool is only for post-deployment testing, it is not being part of agile development. In addition, the main disadvantage of this tool is that it can not write predefined test cases because of pathfinding issues.

The most important demerit of Ghost Inspector is that it does not support the Google recaptcha while testing. Tests can take a long time to run in the cloud – Impossible to debug step-by-step. It’s not allowed to execute all suites on a single click and not allowed to execute for an iframe screen. It doesn’t support IE, Edge, and Safar due to that reason cross-browser testing is not possible with this tool.

Conclusion

Over the course of the last two years, we have implemented many test cases in various projects & got excellent results in the project. It also has benefitted us to grab the client’s confidence towards our new approach to using automation testing various projects.
