Checkly unites testing and monitoring into one unified workflow. Testing is a core component of Checkly’s Application Reliability Platform. It allows you to:
Testing overview
  • Run automated tests in the browser that simulate user interactions
  • Set up API tests to verify endpoints and services
  • Schedule and automate test execution
  • Run tests from different locations around the world

​
Test Types

Since Checkly combines testing and monitoring, you only need to create a single test for both purposes. You can find more information about the different tests Checkly supports below:
Simple HTTP requests to verify your API endpoints are responding correctly.Create an API test
Full browser automation to test complex user interactions and workflows.Create a Browser test
Advanced tests that combine multiple API calls and browser actions.Create a Multi-step test

Benefits of Testing with Checkly

  • Unified Testing and Monitoring: Eliminate the traditional separation between pre-production testing and production monitoring with a single platform that spans the entire SDLC
  • Continuous Reliability: Catch issues at any point in your delivery pipeline, not just during traditional testing phases
  • Code-First Approach: Write tests and monitors in code, store them in repositories, and leverage version control for audits and automation
  • Early Risk Detection: Identify business-critical issues before they impact users or revenue through continuous monitoring throughout the development process
  • Continuous Deployment Support: Keep pace with modern rapid deployment cycles where traditional testing alone can’t catch all defects
