# Working with Synthetic Test Quota

## Overview <a href="#lamviecvoisynthetictestquota-tongquan" id="lamviecvoisynthetictestquota-tongquan"></a>

A Synthetic test quota is a term on vMonitor Platform that represents a monitoring package via API with a specific number of API tests and alarms that you purchase on GreenNode. You can only own one Synthetic test quota at a time and use them as a way to organize resources for groups or departments to use for different purposes.
