Description

There are some kinds of checks that we like to perform continually that are not related to user flows. These include back-end cache management, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml checks, assets compression, etc. Tests that check these features are called “Monitoring Tests” because they are small and quick tests that can launch once a minute. These kinds of tests are usually generic, or related to something that broke in the past.
