Ghost Inspector vs Venus.js

Ghost Inspector vs Venus.js: What are the differences?

Ghost Inspector: 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; Venus.js: *Where bugs go to die *. It is a testing tool for JavaScript (JS), which simplifies running unit tests. When you are developing a browser-based project in JS, you'll want to create unit tests and run them frequently. Typically, you'll write a unit test using some library, such as Mocha or Jasmine. These libraries let you define testcases (or "specs" if you are following a BDD style), and provide APIs for writing assertions.

Ghost Inspector can be classified as a tool in the "In-Browser Testing" category, while Venus.js is grouped under "Javascript Testing Framework".

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, Venus.js provides the following key features:

• Use Simple annotations in your tests to specify which testing library you want to use, the file you are testing, other file dependencies, and a test harness template
• Quickly run your browser-based tests directly from the command line using PhantomJS
• Run your tests from the command line in multiple browsers (running locally or remotely) at the same time
