Start monitoring your apps with Playwright Test

Microsoft's Playwright Test is the leading end-to-end testing framework. And while end-to-end testing helps evaluate development and production deployments, it doesn't guarantee your app's uptime or reliability. Get alerted when things go wrong, validate your app's functionality, and get rich debugging insights with Checkly’s browser checks.

End-to-end testing is foundational but synthetic monitoring is proactive in preventing user issues.

End-to-end testing is essential to validate deployments and avoid regressions but doesn't guarantee production uptime. Adopt synthetic monitoring to shorten the time to issue discovery and resolve problems before your customers notice them.

24/7 end-to-end monitoring

Databases fall over, 3rd party providers go down, or your infrastructure is misconfigured; end-to-end monitoring is the only way to discover issues before your customers do.

Your tests in multiple locations

Testing your site from a single location will make you miss region-specific problems. Monitor and test your sites from 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 notified when it matters the most. Leverage alerting integrations such as PagerDuty or OpsGenie to resolve issues swiftly.

Native UI integration

Analyze Playwright test steps, and debug with the natively integrated trace viewer.

Run your tests on a schedule

Checkly enables you to schedule your Playwright tests. Test your apps every minute, hour, or day and access detailed test statistics and aggregated results.

And if things break, receive alerts to know about issues first.

Track your test results

Keep track of your Playwright tests and access detailed debugging information and traces for every test run.

Test sessions overview

Analyze performance

Checkly automatically collects a comprehensive data set including console logs, network requests, and Web Vitals for each page you visit to debug and spot regressions over time.

Performance overview of a Playwright test

“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

Checkly's Monitoring as Code (MaC) workflow integrates seamlessly into your Playwright setup. Reuse your 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.

Learn more about MaC

  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

Running 3 checks in eu-central-1.

src/__checks__/add-to-card.spec.ts
  ✔ add-to-cart.spec.ts (7s)
  ✔ login.spec.ts (3s)
  ✔ create-order.spec.ts (8s)

  3. Deploy your Playwright tests and start monitoring

    Deploy your end-to-end tests and transform them into application monitoring in over twenty locations running on a schedule.

    $ npx checkly deploy --preview

Create: 
    BrowserCheck: src/__checks/add-to-cart.spec.ts
    BrowserCheck: src/__checks/login.spec.ts
