Checkly combines testing and monitoring into one workflow. With Checkly, you can:
Testing overview
  • Run automated browser tests that simulate user interactions
  • Set up API tests to verify endpoints and services
  • Plan recurring test execution on a schedule
  • Run tests from Checkly’s global locations

​
Test Types

Create a single test and use it for both pre-production validation and production monitoring:
Simple HTTP requests to verify your API endpoints are responding correctly.Create an API test
Advanced tests that combine multiple API calls and browser actions.Create a Multi-step test
Full browser automation to test complex user interactions and workflows.Create a Browser test
Import your entire test project and run Playwright completely natively.Create a Playwright test
Verify that non-HTTP services are reachable by checking connectivity to a host and port.Create a TCP monitor
Check that your DNS records resolve as expected and catch misconfigurations or propagation issues.Create a DNS monitor

​
Run Playwright tests on the cloud

Use npx checkly pw-test to run your existing Playwright tests on Checkly’s global infrastructure. Tests run from real cloud locations with full observability — traces, videos, screenshots, and logs.
Terminal
npx checkly pw-test --location="eu-west-1" -- --grep="@smoke"
Customize the dependency installation step for the cloud environment:
Terminal
npx checkly pw-test --installCommand='npm install --no-scripts'
Learn more in the checkly pw-test CLI reference.

​
Analyze local test results

Use the Playwright Reporter to upload local and CI Playwright test results to Checkly. View screenshots, videos, and traces alongside your monitoring data.
