Overview
We often do not simply QA something once. As tasks are completed and more QA is done, we need to re-test that existing features don’t break from changes - regression testing. Writing a test in 
Ghost Inspector is a way to automatically regression test certain features.
Ghost Inspector tests are automated and are simply running through a list of instructions. Because of this, specificity is important - the tool must know clearly exactly what actions to do and where on the page. A test failing can be from the test steps themselves becoming invalidated just as often as a true problem.
Who can do this
You will need access to our studio Ghost Inspector account. This is a task best suited for a developer or QA engineer. If you’re writing a test based on a recent task or project, it’s strongly recommended the relevant developer or QA engineer are involved in test creation.
What you need
- Access to Ghost Inspector by logging in with the Studio email account.
- An understanding of the scope of the test (”What are we checking for, exactly?”)
Steps
Creating the Module
Create and name the module in the appropriate location Consider the steps for a successful test Begin creating the test in Ghost Inspector Confirm the test works correctly Adjust any URLs in the test to the baseURL variable Set the test as an import-only Importing to Run the Test
If necessary, create a new suite Create a new test in the appropriate suite Add a step to the test to import the appropriate module
