Datadog Continuous Testing offers a set of tools that enable you to automate software testing for a product’s entire lifecycle. By offering code-free, reliable end-to-end testing and seamless integrations with popular CI providers and collaboration tools, Continuous Testing helps you accelerate application development and ship high-quality features faster.
Use scalable features such as a codeless web recorder, parallel test runs, and built-in multi-location testing to save time and effort for your QA team.
With support for multiple protocols, frameworks, and APIs—including gRPC and WebSockets—you can test across every level of your application stack.
Instead of having to implement test code, you can build software using Synthetic Monitoring’s resilient, scalable, and codeless tests. Gain confidence in your test results by minimizing false positives through self-healing browser tests and automatic test retries. To ensure your users have the best experience, you can automate cross-browser testing.
Fast-track your application development by testing and troubleshooting in one platform. Select from the following types of CI providers and collaboration tools such as Slack or Jira to merge workflows and avoid context switching.
You can use the Datadog Terraform provider to control test creation and state management. Leverage your Synthetic tests as integration and end-to-end tests for your staging, pre-prod, and canary deployments, or run them directly in your CI pipelines.
Performing tests in a unified monitoring platform helps you quickly find the root cause of failed test runs and reduce MTTR. You can obtain the full context for troubleshooting—without switching between tools—through correlated metrics, traces, and logs surfaced by the Datadog APM integration by looking at executed jobs the Continuous Testing Explorer.
Create search queries and visualizations for your Synthetic test runs or batches of tests running in CI/CD pipelines.
Once you have configured some Synthetic tests, see the documentation for your preferred CI/CD provider or use the datadog-ci NPM package in your CI/CD pipelines. Then, start exploring details about your batch runs in the Continuous Testing Explorer.
