Synthetic API and browser testing: how to create and read it
Summary
The article walks through how to build and read synthetic monitoring tests in KeepWatch, an application observability platform from OpServices. It explains three test types: availability checks, multi-step API journeys, and browser journeys. It then shows how to configure assertions, secrets, alerting, and cleanup steps, and how to interpret failures by step, location, and trace data. The article also connects synthetic monitoring with Web Vitals and backend traces to help identify which service caused an issue.
