Synthetic Testing Monitoring
Synthetic Testing Monitoring, powered by Elastic APM, allows businesses to preemptively identify potential bottlenecks, errors, or performance degradation.

What is Synthetic Testing Monitoring?
Synthetic Testing Monitoring is a proactive method to simulate user interactions with web applications, APIs, and digital services. This involves conducting automated, multi-step browser tests from various geographic locations to ensure your services are available, responsive, and performing as expected.
Simply Data’s Synthetic Testing Monitoring, powered by Elastic APM, allows businesses to preemptively identify potential bottlenecks, errors, or performance degradation. By simulating realistic user workflows, we ensure that your digital platforms meet end-user expectations at all times.

How Does Synthetic Testing Monitoring Work?
01.
Synthetic Testing Monitoring uses automated tools to simulate user interactions with your web applications and APIs. These tests include actions like logging in, searching, adding items to a cart, or completing a payment. Multi-step workflows are particularly valuable, as they mimic complex user journeys.
Elastic APM integrates seamlessly with synthetic testing tools to provide detailed insights into test results. Test data is then visualized using Kibana dashboards, providing real-time monitoring and actionable insights.
Key functionalities include:
-
Multi-step web browser testing.
-
Simulated interactions with APIs.
-
Testing from multiple geographic locations.
-
Scheduled and on-demand test execution.
