The talk compares end-to-end testing in CI and synthetic monitoring for production, arguing teams should reuse the same automation rather than duplicate efforts. It explains cultural causes of the Dev vs Support split and demonstrates a combined approach implemented with Playwright and Elastic Synthetics, plus practical challenges when shifting tests both left (CI) and right (production).
