Ghost Inspector integration

Automation testing is performed using Ghost Inspector software - https://ghostinspector.com. 

Why Ghost Inspector

We have selected Ghost Inspector software because: 

• The testing of use cases takes place in a web browser with an extension installed that allows you to save test cases without code. 
• It is possible to change the tests without manual coding. 
• The software provides the perfect API, which we take full advantage of in Agile.Now Factory. 
• You can test OutSystems mobile, reactive, and web applications with a single software. 
• The test software is a fully browser-based SaaS service, so it is quick to deploy, and no separate maintenance is required.
• The interface of the Ghost Inspector application is arranged in the form of applications stacked as folders (as shown in the figure below). Each test applications would have multiple unit tests stacked within it (see image below). These unit tests are then synced to the Agile.Now Factory application during a sync cycle with Agile.Now Factory.
• The unit tests are automatically migrated from Ghost Inspector to Agile.Now Factory application when a Test application is associated with a module within an issue. This enables the user in Agile.Now Factory to execute all the unit tests within the test application when an issue has been completed and has to be tested.

Organization-level Variables

Variables can be defined at the organization level. If you hover over your name on the top right of the application, then click on “Account Settings”, you’ll land on a page that lists your organization on the left side menu with various options underneath. Among them is a “Variables” item. These variables are available within all tests in your organization when they are run. Add a new "domain" variable, and then specify a default domain value.
