OpenTelemetry based. Works with all major vendors and open source observability solutions.

Tracetest for DevOps, SREs, Observability, and Platform Teams

Stop getting paged in the middle of the night: start using OTel proactively in pre-production to ensure bugs don’t reach production

Get Started How It Works

5 Ways Trace-Based Testing Matters to SREs

Coverage for your most important flows

Integrate Tracetest with Playwright and Cypress to fully test your ‘happy path,' verifying both the frontend AND backend flows.
Your trace is a blueprint when building a test, reducing effort from hours to minutes. No mocking required.
Schedule tests to run periodically and alert the team of failures, providing synthetic tests across the entire stack.
Can run in CI/CD and Production.

Enable true end-to-end testing with Cypress and Playwright

Expand Observability value beyond reactive use by SREs in production.
Have both Devs and QA Automation Engineers realize the value of instrumenting code by creating trace-based tests.
Root-cause analysis of failed tests is 80% faster when leveraging Observability in pre-production.
Orgs using Observability-Driven-Development realize the value of Observability across the entire team. Their instrumentation steadily improves.

Use Tracetest as part of performance testing

Work with both k6 and Artillery.io to enable load tests to see inside the black box.
Validate both functionality and performance of critical backend microservices as part of the load test.

Use one assertion for multiple services with wildcards! Load tests fail if:

Any microservice returns a failed status.
Any database query takes longer than the maximum allowed time.
Time to complete an asynchronous process exceeds the maximum allowed when under load.

Ensure Observability best practices are followed and enforced

Ensure traces are following the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.
Look for common problems with your traces.
Get alerts if security best practices are not followed in your traces.
Enforce quality by failing PRs that don’t meet minimum OpenTelemetry standards.

Never get a 3 a.m. wake-up call ever again

Tracetest allows observability to be used proactively, in tests.
Improved tests in your CI/CD process can prevent regressions in production.
Fail PRs that do not pass tests, keeping bugs out of production.
If the system does break, orgs using Observability Driven Development will have marvelous trace data, improving MTTR and getting back to sleep.
