Congrats on the launch! Question out of curiosity to the highlight team: when you’re building out the product you would probably like to test your own user flows by simulating weird bugs in complex systems to see how well highlight can help catch it. Do you have a standard kit you use containing common setups for that type of product research / validation?

That's a fun question. We don't necessarily have a common test case we run things against, but after big product launches, we do use Highlight to e.g. look at all sessions where a new feature is used.

One other thing that we have is an internal page that lets us simulate specific types of errors for debugging purposes. It looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0prnebmiip8huleaf1mub/Screen-...
