Breaking the Chain of Blame - How to Get True Test Observability

Explore a 16-minute conference talk that addresses the challenges of debugging distributed systems and offers innovative solutions for achieving true test observability. Learn how to break the chain of blame by combining end-to-end testing tools like Cypress or Playwright with distributed traces. Discover techniques to gain visibility across your entire distributed system, including both front-end and back-end components. Understand how to leverage distributed traces to visualize defined code paths and integrate them into Playwright end-to-end tests. Gain insights into streamlining the process of identifying root causes, assigning work to specific teams, and resolving issues more efficiently in complex distributed environments.
