About:
Tracetest is an open-source testing tool that enables you to develop and run end-to-end and integration tests that are backed by trace data. It allows you to verify the behavior and performance of your distributed systems by asserting against trace spans. This provides deep visibility into your application's internal state during test execution.
Key Features:
  • Generate tests from traces
  • Assert against trace data and metrics
  • Integrates with OpenTelemetry
  • Supports Playwright and K6
Use Cases:
  • Debugging complex distributed systems
  • Validating performance requirements in integration tests
  • Ensuring reliability of microservices
Alternatives:
  • Honeycomb – SaaS observability platform with testing features vs Tracetest's CLI-focused open-source approach
  • Checkly – Focuses on synthetic monitoring and API checks vs Tracetest's trace-based assertions
