Tracetest Artillery Launch Week Recap

This week was Tracetests first-ever Launch Week. Weve been working on a major integration with Artillery for the last month and our team is beyond excited to share it with you all!

Whats a launch week?

Each day this week, weve published new educational content on how to quickly get started with trace-based performance testing. This included docs guides, video tutorials, code samples, a blog post, and a webinar with live demos.

Were not the first company to run a launch week. Shoutout to Supabase for starting the hype around launch weeks. However, theyre a great way to give a huge new product update the time in the spotlight it deserves. And, give both the Artillery and Tracetest teams praise for releasing amazing new features!

What happened this week?

We shared daily updates on our LinkedIn and Twitter pages, as well as in our community. In addition, we collaborated with our friends from Artillery on a blog post and live stream, complete with live demos. Lastly, we compiled this recap, making it easier for you to catch up on everything in one place.

Without further ado, heres what we did this week.

Wednesday - Day 3: Performance Testing with Distributed Tracing using Artillery, Playwright, and Tracetest

Day 3 was a banger! We sat down with our friends Bernardo and Ines from Artillery and discussed everything from performance testing to using distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry for end-to-end testing. Oscar and Ines covered hands-on code demos of the Artillery + Tracetest integration, but also demoed how to use Playwright too!
