## Overview

Synthetic Monitoring Test Suites let you organize multiple tests into a single collection for simplified management and troubleshooting. Group tests by user journey, environment, location, service, team, or any other dimension that fits your workflow. View aggregated results, identify failing components, and understand application performance across related tests, all from a unified view.

Group tests by user journey, environment, location, service, team, or any other dimension that fits your workflow. View aggregated results, identify failing components, and understand application performance across related tests, all from a unified view. Configure suite-level alerting to receive a consolidated notification when a critical portion of your tests fail, helping you respond more efficiently to issues impacting important workflows.

## Key features

- **Centralized visibility**: View all tests in a suite and their results in one place.
- **Simplified management**: Create and run test groups instead of managing individual tests separately.
- **Easier maintenance**: Identify which tests need updates when application changes are made.
- **Alerting**: Configure suite-level alerting to receive notifications when critical portions of your tests fail.

5. Configure alerting for the suite:
- By default, all tests are marked as **Critical** and the alert triggers when any critical test fails.

**Note**: Suite alerts are separate from individual test alerts. To avoid duplicate notifications, mute alerts on individual tests included in the suite.
- To exclude specific tests from triggering the suite-level alert, select them and mark them as **Ignored**.
- Adjust the alert threshold to trigger only when a specified percentage of critical tests fail.

**Note**: Test runs appear in the suite only from the date the test was added. To view earlier results, check the individual test page. If you rename a test, previous runs remain listed under the original name. A maximum of 300 tests can be added per suite.
