2 Steps & Web Applications

Delivering synthetic monitoring on your consumer facing websites & internal web applications

Picking the right synthetic monitoring capability is an important part of your IT service delivery strategy. Many developers choose agents or hooking into APIs but this approach comes with limitations.

Allow us to explain why agentless automation for your web application will put you 2 Steps ahead of the competition.

“I was extremely surprised how quickly we could build tests”

2 Steps vs. Selenium

When automating a web browser using Selenium, a developer is required to write a script to automate the test

This is a time consuming approach and creates a high cost of ownership as many scripts are typically required for multiple tests across multiple browsers.

Challenges with Selenium become even more pronounced as soon as the user journey leaves the browser in any way e.g. 2 Factor Authentication.

With 2 Steps, all of these problems are solved for you.

2 Steps allows you to easily create new tests, on any type of browser, as it records you performing the action without worrying about the type of browser or application.

No Code, No Agents, No Worries.
