Using Playwright and Checkly to create an ecommerce synthetic monitoring check (no audio)

Nov 18, 2022

This short video shows the creation of a synthetic monitoring check using Playwright and Checkly. Here's an outline of the steps in the video:

Note: If you’d like to follow along with the steps here, make sure that you have Playwright installed first.

  1. Use Playwright to run Playwright codegen.
  2. Record a sample user flow on your web shop. In the video example—using the demo Vercel online store—we simulate adding an item to a shopping cart, checking out, filling out customer data, and choosing a shipping provider.
  3. Re-run the check with Playwright using one command.
  4. Schedule the user flow check using Checkly for automated synthetic monitoring.
