Q: Will tests create false orders or skew analytics?

No. Stop the journey before final payment or use a test-mode gateway, and filter Acumen Logs IP addresses out of your analytics.

Q: What do I get when a journey fails?

Step-by-step screenshots and console/network logs on all plans, plus video replay on paid plans, and alerts on the channels you chose.

The Synthetic Test Recorder is a free Chrome extension. Start recording, use your site the way a customer would, and every click, field, and page change becomes a step that Acumen Logs runs around the clock.

Why record

The test you would have scripted, without the script

Browser test scripts take a developer hours and break on the next release. Recording takes as long as the journey itself.

Writing a test script

Recording with the extension

Scripted

Hours of code to find each button, field, and link.

Recorded

Click through the journey once. Every step is captured.

Scripted

Breaks the moment a CSS class or HTML ID changes.

Recorded

Captures what the element is and where it sits, so code changes do not break the step.

Scripted

Only developers can write or fix it.

Recorded

Product managers, marketers, and QA can record and manage tests themselves.

Scripted

A failure is a stack trace to decode.

Recorded

A failure comes with a video replay and screenshots.

What it records

Every interaction that matters to the journey

Complex checkouts and logins included, with no gaps between steps.

Clicks and buttons

Links, buttons, product cards, and menus, by what they say and where they are.

Form fields

Text, emails, selects, and checkboxes, with the values you typed.

Navigation and redirects

Page changes and redirects, including the hop to a payment provider.

Scrolling

Scrolls that reveal lazy-loaded content before the next action.

When it fails

Watch the failed run instead of guessing

Each failed run saves a step-by-step video replay and screenshots, so you see exactly what a customer would have seen.

Video replay

Every step of the failed run, in order, exactly as the browser saw it.

Screenshots on failure

The page at the moment it broke, ready to share with whoever fixes it.

Safe to run

Real journeys, without real side effects

Scheduled tests should catch problems, not create them.

Orders

No false orders

Stop the journey just before the final payment, or point it at a test-mode gateway like Stripe’s sandbox.

Analytics

Clean reports

Filter Acumen Logs’ dedicated IP addresses out of Google Analytics and similar tools.

Logins

Works with MFA

Use one-time passcodes, session cookies, or staging credentials, so tests reach logged-in pages.

Questions

Before you record your first journey

Is the extension free?

Yes. Install it from the Chrome Web Store at no cost. The free Acumen Logs plan includes one browser monitor to run your first recording.

Do I need to write any code?

No. Use your site normally while recording. Clicks, form fields, scrolls, and page changes become steps automatically.

What happens when a developer changes a class or ID?

The recorder captures the visible element and the context around it, not just its code, so routine changes do not break the step.

Will tests create false orders or skew analytics?

No. Stop the journey before the final payment or use a test-mode gateway, and filter Acumen Logs’ IP addresses out of your analytics.

Show all questions Show fewer questions

Can it test pages behind a login with MFA?

Yes. Runs can use one-time passcodes, session cookies, or staging credentials to reach authenticated pages.

What do I get when a journey fails?

A step-by-step video replay and screenshots, plus an alert to the channels you chose.
