  GitHub Action for running trace-based tests against Tracetest with our CI/CD pipeline

  

In this article, I’ve explained how the Tracetest team uses synthetic monitoring to evaluate the Tracetest open beta using GitHub Actions using Tracetest’s new GitHub Action to configure GitHub Workflows. With these tools, our team can add more monitoring to Tracetest and validate that our systems are working as expected. You’re now fully equipped to implement this knowledge in your own GitHub Actions to trigger trace-based tests easily!

  Send data into Slack using this GitHub Action!

  

As a final step, you can add a notification step that tell you if the tests failed. To do that, I'm using slackapi/slack-github-action that allows you to send a Slack message about the test conclusion. In my case, I've set it to send messages only in case of failures:
