Start Monitoring with Playwright Test

Microsoft’s Playwright Test is the leading end-to-end testing framework, but end-to-end testing alone can't guarantee uptime or reliability for your apps. Integrate Checkly with Playwright for real-time alerts, validation, and rich debugging insights.

End-to-end testing is foundational, but synthetic monitoring helps prevent user issues

Adopt synthetic monitoring to shorten the time to issue discovery and resolve problems before your customers notice them.

24/7 end-to-end monitoring

End-to-end monitoring is the only way to discover issues before your customers do.

Your tests in multiple locations

Monitor and test your sites from multiple locations around the world.

Transparent test results and dashboards

Keep track of all your Playwright test results over time and inspect what went wrong and when.

Performance analysis with Core Web Vitals

Discover performance trends with built-in Core Web Vitals.

Flexible alerts

Get real-time alerts when issues arise. Integrate your preferred way to get notified, including PagerDuty or OpsGenie, to resolve issues swiftly.

Native UI integration

“We've saved a lot of time by using Playwright with Checkly.

It only took our team a day or two to evaluate Checkly and determine if it was the right fit for us. It only took me a few minutes to get a login check working and determine if we could login and validate that the CDN was up. ”

Playwright and Monitoring as Code

Your existing Playwright setup integrates seamlessly into your Monitoring as Code (MaC) setup. Reuse existing end-to-end tests, run them for preview deployments in any location, and transform your Playwright setup to reliable production monitoring with a single command.

  1. Write new or reuse your existing Playwright tests

    Write your end-to-end tests using Microsoft's popular testing framework Playwright.

    import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test"

test("test", async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto("https://www.checklyhq.com/")
  await page.getByRole("link", { name: "Log in" }).click()
  await page.getByPlaceholder("yours@example.com").fill("raccoon@checklyhq.com")
  await page.getByPlaceholder("your password").fill("PASSWORD")
  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Log In" }).click()
  await expect(page.getByTestId("home-dashboard-table")).toBeVisible()
})

  2. Test your preview deployments end-to-end

    Specify your tests' location and run Playwright in CI/CD to guarantee that you're not introducing production failures.

    $ npx checkly test
