Synthetic Testing

What Are Your Most Important Site Transactions?

The end user’s experience of your web application is made up of site transactions, which are each composed of several steps the visitor takes to complete an exchange with your site. This could be, for example, a user registering for a new account or a customer putting something in the shopping cart and checking out.

Transactions may contain multiple steps and span several pages on your site. Needless to say, it’s crucial for these steps to function without problems.

Pingdom Web Recorder and Reports

The web recorder feature in SolarWinds^® Pingdom^® allows you to set up transaction checks quickly and easily by recording the steps a user would take and translating it into a script – with no coding necessary. Pingdom uses a Google Chrome browser in the background, so JavaScript and interactive functions are working just as they do when you visit a page with your regular browser.

Get reports of how your simulated tests are performing and get alerted when any step has failed. Identify issues with a root cause analysis report.

Synthetic Testing Helps Ensure Critical Transactions Work

Pingdom synthetic transaction testing provides a way to automatically test steps by reproducing them at set intervals. If something fails in the transaction, Pingdom can send you an alert. Just like uptime checks, you can see an overview of your current transaction checks and their statuses.

Synthetic transaction monitoring is essential to making sure your website is not only online but fulfilling its purpose.
