A juniper-knoll teammate still creates a classic “URL ping test” from an old screenshot. Which availability test type should the developer use instead?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
URL ping tests are on the retirement clock. Create a Standard availability test now. VS multi-step web tests and Redis watches are not the modern Insights path.
Full Explanation
Microsoft documents Standard availability tests as the current single-request test type, with classic URL ping tests retiring. Multi-step Visual Studio web tests are retired. Redis watches and Traffic Manager probes are separate products and do not replace the Application Insights Standard test.
