### Error outliers

Error outliers in Synthetic Monitoring display unexpected behaviors and performance deviations. These anomalies provide insights into the reliability issues in your [Synthetic Browser Tests][101]. Identifying these error outliers helps you troubleshoot errors in failed test runs, enhancing debugging and reducing Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR).

When reviewing failed test runs, you can see the number of error outliers on the failed test:

To view the error outlier message, click on the outlier. Then, on the test step side panel, click the **Errors & Warnings** tab.
