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".

Some of the features offered by Ghost Inspector are:

  • Automated browser testing from the cloud
  • Chrome extension for test recording
  • GUI editor for test building and editing

On the other hand, Reflect provides the following key features:

  • API
  • Automation
  • Web testing

      What are some alternatives to Ghost Inspector and Reflect?
      BrowserStack
      BrowserStack is the leading test platform built for developers & QAs to expand test coverage, scale & optimize testing with cross-browser, real device cloud, accessibility, visual testing, test management, and test observability.
      Selenium
      Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
      Cypress
      Cypress is a front end automated testing application created for the modern web. Cypress is built on a new architecture and runs in the same run-loop as the application being tested. As a result Cypress provides better, faster, and more reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser. Cypress works on any front-end framework or website.
      Jest
      Jest provides you with multiple layers on top of Jasmine.
      Mocha
      Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on node.js and the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. Mocha tests run serially, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting, while mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases.
