Outcomes

End-to-end testing across every layer

Protect the experiences your revenue depends on. Generate coverage automatically, verify outcomes rather than endpoints, and go from alert to root cause in minutes.

Automate your test coverage

Close coverage gaps, including the ones you didn’t know you had. Automatically cover the workflows that matter across browser, API, and network, so coverage expands with every release.

Jump from alert to root cause

Trust your alerts again. Know whether a failure is real, flaky, or a misconfiguration the moment a test completes, then get an evidence-backed root cause in minutes.

Prove business impact

Connect what you test to what the business measures. Get uptime SLOs on the workflows your business runs on, with no setup and historical trends from day one, so reliability reporting stops being something you assemble by hand.

Complete workflow verification that builds itself

Datadog automatically brings frontend, API, and network testing into one view for each user workflow. Every result connects to the traces, logs, and infrastructure metrics behind it, so a failing test points straight at what caused it.

Features

From test creation to resolution

Build coverage

Measure uptime against the workflows that drive revenue

SLOs generate automatically against your critical user workflows, with no manual setup, no custom queries, and no ongoing maintenance. Reliability is measured the way customers experience it.

Move from pass/fail to error budgets

When your error budget tracks workflow availability, teams prioritize what actually affects customers instead of chasing system-level metrics that don't reflect real user experience.

Give every stakeholder a shared view of reliability

Unified dashboards surface test health, workflow availability, and AI-driven coverage insights in one place, tailored to any audience from on-call engineers to executive leadership.

Test every layer

Catch failures that hide across layers

Test Suites aggregate browser, API, and network tests into a single unit per workflow, so failures get caught before customers feel them.

Validate what users need to accomplish

Define the outcome you need users to achieve, like completing a checkout or finishing onboarding and Bits Testing discovers the relevant paths to test.

Alert on workflow failures

Suite-level alerting fires when a meaningful portion of critical tests fail, replacing a flood of disconnected notifications with one clear, actionable signal.

Diagnose failures

Know immediately whether a failure is real

AI-powered rich test results classify every failure the moment a test completes as a real regression, a flaky test, or a misconfiguration, so your team only investigates what matters.

Drill into test failures

Open a failed test to see the APM trace, RUM session, error logs, and infrastructure metrics for the exact request it fired, alongside step-level screenshots and video replay.

Get to root cause in minutes

Bits Investigation autonomously correlates test results, APM traces, logs, and infrastructure data, surfacing a root cause with tested hypotheses and recommended next steps.

Measure availability

Measure uptime against the workflows that drive revenue

SLOs generated automatically against your critical user workflows, with no manual setup, no custom queries, and no ongoing maintenance. Reliability is measured the way customers experience it.

Move from pass/fail to error budgets

When your error budget tracks workflow availability, teams prioritize what actually affects customers instead of chasing system-level metrics that don't reflect real user experience.

Give stakeholders a clear view of reliability over time

A unified report tracks SLO performance over time across test health and workflow availability, filtered by team, service, environment, or workflow.

Built for your role

Built for every team behind the user experience

Give every team the context they need to expand coverage, resolve failures faster, and prove that the workflows your business runs on are working.

Know it's safe to merge

  • Generate tests for new code from a plain-language prompt
  • Trigger tests from CI/CD pipelines on demand or on merge
  • Gate deploys on synthetic test results
  • Inspect step-level screenshots, video replays, and APM traces from a failing run
Image

Rule out the noise, then fix the real failure

  • Get every failure classified before you open it: real regression or test misconfiguration
  • Pinpoint which layer broke from a single view of the workflow
  • Alert once per broken workflow, not once per failed test
  • Launch Bits Investigations directly from Synthetic monitor alerts
Image

Prove you're protecting revenue

  • Track uptime with suite-level SLOs, no setup required
  • Standardize reliability measurement across teams and products
  • Build dashboards for any audience, from engineers to executives
  • Cut tool sprawl by consolidating testing into your observability platform
