Overview
It is often beneficial to monitor a SaaS application using multiple tests of different types to get a complete picture of its performance. Test Suites allow you to create a set of preconfigured tests for a specific application all at once, rather than manually creating each test individually. Just configure a few basic settings and the Suite will be created with all tests up and running.
Each test suite is pre-configured to run the DNS Experience, Ping TCP, and Web Object monitors. Alerts for each monitor are also pre-configured based on best practices.
