How to create efficient UX smoke tests with synthetic monitoring

Synthetic monitoring is a key element of effective UX smoke testing by helping analyze user journeys across deployments via change-resilient automated tests, addressing challenges such as recreating real user behavior, scaling tests, and automating testing workflows. It enables teams to design effective synthetic smoke tests, analyze results, increase efficiency over time, measure the impact and success of their UX smoke testing process, and optimize their coverage by setting up monitor alerts and using dashboards that bring visibility to key metrics. By making synthetic monitoring a core element of your UX smoke testing process, you can increase accuracy, decrease deployment time, and continually improve your app's value by helping it meet—and exceed—user expectations.
