Proactive issue detectionVendor‑agnostic testingActionable insights

The Synthetic Testing app empowers teams to proactively monitor service and network performance—even when no live traffic is present. By simulating real user behavior with scheduled or on‑demand tests, teams can detect degradations early and validate service quality across all layers of the operation.

As part of the DataMiner xOps platform, Synthetic Testing supports broadcast, service provider, satellite, smart ecosystems, and defense organizations that require always‑on service quality and fast, data‑driven diagnostics.

Key benefits:

  • Proactive issue detection

    Monitor services, applications, and infrastructure even without real user traffic to detect problems early—before they impact the end user.

  • Flexible, vendor‑agnostic testing

    Deploy ready‑to‑use or custom tests without requiring agents, additional software, or vendor‑specific integrations.

  • Actionable insights

    Analyze test results through clear dashboards to identify trends, degradations, or opportunities for performance improvements.
