Datadog’s Latest AI Capabilities Give Teams a Complete and Vital View of the User Journey

Datadog, Inc., the leading AI-powered observability and security platform, is debuting new features to its Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) suite: Journey Monitoring and Bits Testing.

As part of the DEM suite, these features help teams monitor whether users can complete business-critical flows such as checkout, sign-in and onboarding, and verify those flows keep working as their applications change, according to Datadog.

Journey Monitoring puts conversion, traffic, and availability for each journey into a single view so teams can instantly see when and why a conversion dropped and know if the journey was successful.

Bits Testing builds coverage from a plain-language prompt and adds goal-based testing—a Synthetic test type that verifies an outcome instead of replaying a script—so tests survive redesigns and automatically cover AI features whose output changes each run to ensure that user journeys still work even as the product changes underneath them, said the company.

“We don't think of AI as a feature you add to a product. We think of it as what should be running underneath everything—infrastructure, security, and now the user journey. Journey Monitoring and Bits Testing apply that idea end-to-end to find the journeys that matter and use AI to keep testing them as the product changes,” said Yanbing Li, chief product officer at Datadog.
