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.
No scripts, no selectors, no code.
5 steps captured. Stop to save them as a monitor.
Anyone who can use your website can build a test for it.
Install the recorder from the Chrome Web Store. It is free.
Press record and use your site naturally: log in, search, add to cart, check out.
Choose how often it runs, on which devices, and who gets told when it fails.
It then runs on your schedule, and alerts the channels you picked.
Browser test scripts take a developer hours and break on the next release. Recording takes as long as the journey itself.
Hours of code to find each button, field, and link.
Click through the journey once. Every step is captured.
Breaks the moment a CSS class or HTML ID changes.
Captures what the element is and where it sits, so code changes do not break the step.
Only developers can write or fix it.
Product managers, marketers, and QA can record and manage tests themselves.
A failure is a stack trace to decode.
A failure comes with a video replay and screenshots.
Complex checkouts and logins included, with no gaps between steps.
Links, buttons, product cards, and menus, by what they say and where they are.
Text, emails, selects, and checkboxes, with the values you typed.
Page changes and redirects, including the hop to a payment provider.
Scrolls that reveal lazy-loaded content before the next action.
Each failed run saves a step-by-step video replay and screenshots, so you see exactly what a customer would have seen.
Every step of the failed run, in order, exactly as the browser saw it.
The page at the moment it broke, ready to share with whoever fixes it.
Scheduled tests should catch problems, not create them.
Stop the journey just before the final payment, or point it at a test-mode gateway like Stripe’s sandbox.
Filter Acumen Logs’ dedicated IP addresses out of Google Analytics and similar tools.
Use one-time passcodes, session cookies, or staging credentials, so tests reach logged-in pages.
The extension costs nothing, and the free plan runs your first recorded journey. Add more as you need them.
