Web analytics unit testing framework
Project description
Web Analytics Unit (WAUnit)
WAUnit is a testing framework for Google Analytics (other platforms coming soon).
When you setup custom tracking for a website you have to validate if the hits are correct, HitInspect automates the verification of tracking specifications.
Watch the Youtube video ‘WAUnit Overview’.
In a nutshell this is how it works:
A python unittest using Selenium Webdriver is executed
A local proxy captures the Google Analytics hits
The unittest compares the specs with the proxy hit log and returns OK/FAIL for each test and detailed information on what doesn’t match.
Requirements
Python 2.7
Selenium
mitmproxy
Installation
Install WAUnit using pip. Notice a core requirement is mitmproxy. Be sure to install SSL certificates for mitmproxy so the proxy can capture SSL traffic.
python pip install WAUnit
Quickstart
If you are not familiar with Selenium read the getting started with Selenium Python Bindings. Watch the Youtube video ‘Getting Started with WAUnit’

Start the proxy: waunitproxy –config wunit.cfg
A file named hitdata.db will be created in your home directory
Download [sample.py](#) to your project directory
Execute the sample with: python sample.py
wunit.cfg
