Unleash Synthetic Monitoring with Supercharged Test Automations
summary
Synthetic monitoring combines continuous Selenium/Appium scripts with time‑series storage and dashboards to catch regressions before users notice: Selenium scripts run every 20s to record roundtrip times, uptime and pass/fail; performance spikes show when response delays jump from 0.5–3s to 8s; failures include missing locators and broken form submissions. Results go to InfluxDB and are visualized in Grafana, enabling CI/CD gating, alerts, and chaos‑engineering comparisons.
