Nerdlog Roundup: Test Website Experiences with New Relic Synthetics Step Builder
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic One offers advanced synthetics monitoring capabilities that allow users to detect and resolve website performance issues and outages proactively. The platform provides a new step builder feature that facilitates end-to-end testing of complex user flows on websites without the need for coding, simplifying the process of testing actions such as logging in or checking out. Users can create monitors using various methods to locate elements, such as CSS class, HTML ID, or XPath, and can edit the generated Selenium IDE scripts for more advanced testing. With the ability to monitor from multiple geographic locations, New Relic One enables precise identification of region-specific issues, which is crucial for replicating errors experienced by certain user subsets. Additionally, New Relic offers a free account option that includes 10,000 synthetic checks per month, making it accessible for users to set up comprehensive monitoring processes.
