What is Ghost Inspector?

Ghost Inspector is a tool for automated testing and monitoring of websites and applications, which makes it easier for developers to identify errors, bugs and performance issues. It runs the tests in the browser to mimic the user experience and ensure that everything is running as it should.

Integrating the service with Buddy allows you to incorporate automated tests into your CI/CD workflow:

What is Ghost Inspector CLI?

Ghost Inspector CLI is a tool that allows users perform certain operations from the command line. This can be useful for automating testing processes, or running tests locally.

Adding Ghost Inspector CLI action to your pipeline lets you e.g. schedule browser tests to run at specific times directly from the pipeline, without the need to visit your Ghost Inspector account page.
