Datadog Synthetic Monitoring

API and browser testing

Proactively monitor end-to-end user flows with browser tests

• Easily create tests with customized assertions using our fully hosted codeless web recorder.
• Reduce false alarms and alert fatigue with automatic detection of UI changes and updating of tests.
• Visualize user flows with step-by-step screenshots and Session Replay, and add key context with relevant network and performance metrics.

Track endpoint health and performance with API tests

• Validate all layers of your systems (HTTP, gRPC, SSL, DNS, WebSocket, TCP, UDP, and ICMP) from globally managed and private locations.
• View a breakdown of network timing data for faster root cause analysis.
• Verify key user flows at the API level by chaining API requests together in multistep tests.

Gain actionable insights into your testing strategy

• Assess your overall HTTP testing coverage with the Datadog API Catalog and quickly create API tests for any untested endpoints with a single click.
• Identify the most used untested web actions based on real user interactions and create relevant tests to eliminate gaps in your browser testing coverage
• Increase testing efficiency and comprehensiveness with AI-generated Synthetics, which intelligently identifies business-critical flows and creates the right tests for you in seconds through an intuitive chat UI.

Reduce mean time to resolution with full-stack visibility

• Gain the full context for troubleshooting failed tests—without switching between tools—through correlated metrics, traces, logs, and session replays surfaced by Datadog APM and RUM integration.
• Visualize application uptime and performance data alongside key business metrics, helping you track your SLAs and SLOs.
• Gain deep visibility into your internet stack—including CDNs, SaaS APIs, cloud providers, and networks—to pinpoint issues and eliminate unnecessary troubleshooting cycles.

One suite for all testing needs

• Incorporate end-to-end tests into your CI pipelines for early issue detection, prevention, and remediation for web and mobile applications.
• Use our integrations with popular CI providers (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps) and collaboration tools (Slack, Jira) to merge workflows and avoid context-switching.
• Streamline collaboration by eliminating the need for teams to maintain separate testing scenarios, helping improve efficiency, release velocity, and business agility.
