Limitations

  • Synthetic User Monitoring can only monitor web applications.
  • Synthetic User Monitoring cannot monitor an application that cannot be operated via a Selenium IDE script.
  • Selenium IDE does not provide any authentication management.
    Therefore, the only supported authentication methods is the "direct authentication" (via a user/password), i.e. by adding in the Selenium IDE script the actions of entering the logon user and its password into a login page.
  • Selenium IDE cannot script web applications relying on Shadow DOM structures. However, in some cases, workarounds to create Selenium IDE scripts exist.
  • The Selenium IDE script must only use commands supported by Synthetic User Monitoring
    see Which Selenium commands does Synthetic User Monitoring in SAP Cloud ALM for operations support?
  • The monitored web application must be accessible from the runner endpoint.
