Synthetic Monitoring
How CloudQA Synthetic Monitoring Works
Record a critical user journey once, schedule it to run in real browsers from the locations you choose, and get alerted with step-level detail the moment something breaks or slows down.
Three steps to continuous monitoring
Record a user journey
Record the journey as a CloudQA test case first and run it once, so you know the workflow has no functional errors before you monitor it.
Start monitoring
Add the journey to CloudQA Synthetic Monitoring and choose how often it runs, from which locations and with which data.
Analyze real-time metrics
Watch availability and performance 24/7 and act quickly on issues that hurt the user experience.
What happens on every run
Real browser, real location
The journey runs in a real Chrome or Firefox session from the location you picked.
Every step is checked
CloudQA verifies status codes and functional outcomes, not just whether the page loaded.
Timings and screenshots
Each step records its response and rendering time and a screenshot of what the browser saw.
Results and alerts
The dashboard updates, and your team is alerted if a step fails or crosses a performance threshold.
Ensure performance and continuous availability of your website, web application and APIs
With the web-based CloudQA Recorder you click through and securely record the transactions that matter most to your business and customers. Those recorded journeys then run continuously, in different browsers and with different data, against your live environment.
It is the most proactive way to monitor your application for performance and user experience: active alerts tell you about a problem in a specific transaction flow long before your customers do.
Dashboards and alerts
Real-time dashboards with drill-down
Online availability and performance dashboards let you drill down from application to journey to page. Track individual page errors or performance breaches, with up to a year of history.
Intelligent, customizable alerts
Hearing about broken carts or logins from your users is the slowest way to find out. Send alerts by SMS, email, Slack or PagerDuty, and schedule maintenance windows when monitoring pauses.
