Ghost Inspector vs Reflect: What are the differences?
Developers describe Ghost Inspector as "Catch website bugs and regressions before they cost you". It lets you create and manage UI tests that check specific functionality in your website or application. We execute these automated browser tests continuously from the cloud and alert you if anything breaks. On the other hand, Reflect is detailed as "Automated web regression testing without writing any code or installing any software". It is a tool that helps you test any website without writing any code or installing anything. All you need to create a test is a URL. Our cloud-based browser allows you to interact with your website just like a normal browser. Behind the scenes, it captures all of your actions and builds a repeatable test script. When you're finished, you can run that test script whenever you want within our automated platform. So, if you can use your site, you can test your site.
Ghost Inspector can be classified as a tool in the "In-Browser Testing" category, while Reflect is grouped under "Browser Testing".
