Real User Tests

Due to recent platform-wide naming, navigation, and URL changes in the product, you may notice some discrepancies between the product and the screenshots displayed in our technical documentation. The instructions and actual pages in the product are still valid and haven’t changed. Please bear with us as we update our screenshots to better match the in-product experience. See the full scope of changes on Naming and Navigation Menu changes - Summary List.

This article includes instructions for creating, modifying, and deleting real user tests, as well as reference information for the various configurable settings.

Real user tests get automatically deployed when the user visits a website in the monitored domain set.

A monitored domain set consists of domains that you want to gather end-user performance metrics about. The best practice is to use business-relevant domains for tools and sites that your end users access.

Add a Monitored Domain Set

To add a monitored domain set:

1. Navigate to the Endpoint Experience > Test Settings > Real User Tests tab.

2. Click the Add New Monitored Domain Set button.

3. Configure the basic settings for the session. See the table below for summaries of each option.

4. Click Add New Monitored Domain Set at the bottom to save the domain, or click Cancel to discard the changes.
