Synthetic tests allow you to observe how your systems and applications are performing using **simulated requests and actions from around the globe**. Datadog **tracks the performance of your webpages and APIs** from the backend to the frontend, and at various network levels (HTTP, TCP, SSL, and DNS) in a controlled and stable way, alerting you in case of faulty behavior (regression, broken feature, high response time, unexpected status code, etc.). **End-to-end testing production and CI environments** increases development teams’ speed as it puts an end to the fear of defective code making it to production. **Computing SLOs** on your key endpoints and user journeys makes it easier to stick to your application performance targets and ultimately provide a consistent customer experience.

API tests allow you to launch requests and perform verifications on your web applications at various network levels: HTTP, TCP, SSL, and DNS. Create your first [HTTP test][1], [TCP test][2], [SSL test][3], and[DNS test][4] to get started with API and network monitoring.

API tests allow you to launch [single][1] or [chained][2]requests to perform verifications on your key systems at various network levels: `HTTP`, `TCP`, `SSL`, and `DNS`. Create your first [HTTP test][3], [TCP test][4], [SSL test][5], or[DNS test][6] to get started with API and network monitoring.
Use [Synthetic private locations][6] to monitor internal APIs and websites or to create custom locations in areas that are mission-critical to your business.
