Need Info
Hi,
Please clarify below doubts
-
how this project can be used for "Web Analytics" testing e.g. can I use for website which uses Google analytics ?
-
can you please add more details to "Site Infrastructure Tests" with current README it's difficult to understand what exactly can be achieve ?
Hi there,
The tests are tool agnostic. They are supposed to test the infrastructure underneath the tools. Is the data layer in place and is it complete? Are certain key elements present and do they have the correct values? Questions like that are not related to the analytics tool used. More crucially, those questions are in the realm of the developer, not the analytics team.
If you want to understand the idea, may I point you to https://webanalyticsfordevelopers.com/2017/05/30/more-tests-more-fun/, https://webanalyticsfordevelopers.com/2016/03/01/what-to-test/, and maybe https://webanalyticsfordevelopers.com/2016/05/31/my-summit-session-now-viewable-online/.
I also built a test page that is easy to understand: https://www.jan-exner.de/orm/lab/ (no, I do NOT have a book)
Does that help?
@janexner Thanks for update, I'm from QA automation background and looking for solution to test web analytics.
Your project looks promising but frankly I'm finding it hard to understand.
e.g.
A JSON file (testdescription.json) contains all pages to be tested along with their tests but it's not clear what kind of tests this executes.
which test description the test suite will read by specifying the test.description.file property couldn't find this file.
If you can revisiting and rephrase README keeping QA community ( who are new to analytics ) in mind can be of great help. Thanks in advance.
@janexner can you please review above comment and do the needful ? Thanks in advance.
