In order to improve your testing coverage and better manage your browser tests, this dashboard can help you answer the following questions:
By testing the most popular sections of your application through Synthetic browser tests, you are alerted when key user journeys in your application are negatively impacted by a code change. You can run tests directly in your CI/CD pipelines to ensure no regressions occur before releasing code in production.
To add a browser test for a top view or untested action, click on a view with a low percentage of tested actions under Top Views or an action under Untested Actions and select Create a Synthetics browser test from the dropdown menu. Clicking View RUM events navigates you to the RUM Explorer with an autofilled search query for actions with a specific view name.
The Top Views table lists the most popular web pages that users are interacting with, along with the number of real user interactions and the percentage of actions that are tested in browser tests.
Use the template variables to customize the data types and filter out your queried data on custom actions.
Datadog recommends using custom actions. By default, custom actions are unique and offer more accurate coverage results compared to generated actions.
