The Test Engineer needs to be well versed with the basics of programming concepts. ‘Ghost Inspector’ relieves you from any such efforts towards learning the same! It uses a ‘scriptless’ approach for automated test cases wherein you just need to install a plugin to “record” your actions over a case. Ghost Inspector is an automated web application-testing tool. It carries out operations in a browser, the same way a user would, to ensure that everything is working properly. To get started with Ghost Inspector, one needs to sign up for a free Ghost Inspector account. To create automated tests, you need to install test recorder (Chrome Extension or Firefox Add-on.) in your browser. Even the tests are run from the cloud service. We can set tests to run continuously on a schedule, setup notifications (email, text), and control various other aspects of our testing. - Go to [https://app.ghostinspector.com](https://app.ghostinspector.com) and create your account. - Once the account is created login to your account. - You will see, Install Chrome Recorder. Click on it and add an extension to your chrome browser. ![figure1](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kishore1.png?width=582&height=117&name=kishore1.png) - After successfully adding it to the browser you will see icon toolbar. ![figure2](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kishore2.png?width=70&height=56&name=kishore2.png) - Now you are ready to record, test,  and open desired application. Open extension and fill up details. ![figure3](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kishore3.png?width=275&height=267&name=kishore3.png) - Start recording. - In between recording you can add assertions. ![figure4](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kishore4.png?width=334&height=297&name=kishore4.png) - Once you finish with recording, give test name and save the test. ![figure5](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kishore5.png?width=217&name=kishore5.png) - In the dashboard you will see the save test. ![figure6](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kishore6.png?width=600&height=192&name=kishore6.png) - On clicking on Test name, you will see the details: Edit steps, view settings, and run test. ![figure7](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kishore7.png?width=600&name=kishore7.png) It also shows test case status Passed/Failed with screenshot and video. **Note**: The Ghost Inspector offers 100 free executions per month. Beyond this a purchase for the pro version needs to be made.  **Pros**: - This tool allows you to compare screenshots. - Tool can be executed with different resolutions. - We can execute our test from any geographical location **Cons**: - ‘Add on’ is available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. - It is not available with  CI/CD tools. - You can’t see the execution running live on your browser. Try the Ghost Inspector for your next automation testing.
