Day 8 On an ecommerce platform, what monitoring and analytics would implement and why?

 A Website Monitoring service checks and verifies that the site is up and working and site visitors can use the site as expected. Website Monitoring involves testing websites for availability, performance, and function and alerting support staff when the page doesn’t work as expected.


1.Availability monitoring

Availability is about uptime, or in other words, making sure a website or service is always accessible and to some degree functional. Availability can involve web services, domains, and pages.


2.performance monitoring

Performance monitoring checks a website's or service's speed. Performance monitors track the time for connection speeds (frontend and backend) and browser load times. Performance monitors may utilize Synthetic Monitoring or RUM technology. RUM and the Full Page Check provide the most comprehensive performance data set. The Full Page Check gives detailed performance data for every element on the page. Performance monitors issue alerts for page errors, missing content, and slow performance.


3.Functionality monitoring

Web Application Monitors or transaction monitors test a site’s functionality. These specialized monitors use script files that interact with forms, site search, shopping carts, and payment systems. Transaction monitors interact with a web application in the same way as regular visitors, and they typically verify the predictable "happy paths" for completing a task. If an error occurs or the performance drops, the system issues an alert to the support staff. Many different errors can block users from using a web application that availability and performance monitors cannot catch.


Ecommerce analytics is the process of gathering data from all areas that have an impact on your online store and using this information to understand the trends and the shift in consumers’ behavior to make data-driven decisions that will drive more online sales.


1. Audience

Analytics information about your target audience provides you with insights into your customers' geographic location, age, gender, and perhaps their interests or product preferences.


2. Acquisition

This data informs you how exactly your customers found your store, and how they arrived at your site. This information indicates which marketing channels your brand should focus on.


3. Behavior

This data shows you how your customers respond to information on your eCommerce site. Customer behavior relates to the content customers click, the products that interest them, and what they buy. The data could include how long customers spend before making a purchase or leaving the site.


4. Conversions

conversion data refers to the point when an online user turns into an actual customer. You should track conversion data over time and identify when conversion rates increase, decrease, and the potential causes.


5. Paid marketing activities

When you use paid ads to boost web traffic, you need to gather data from these platforms (Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, etc) to determine the Return On Investment.

    Nice article Yogita. Especially the analytics part. When you refer to Ecommerce analytics, I will also include analytics related to the products and not general ones. Since the traffic for specific products will be very important for the shop owners. Also please checkout trueinsights.co, where you can have custom insights for specific products.

Blog # 9: Say Hello to Alerts! Handling Dialog Boxes in Playwright

By
Alerts and dialogs are common elements in web applications that can interrupt automated test flows if not handled properly. Playwright provides straightforward methods to manage these interruptions, ensuring your tests run smoothly. In this guide, I’ll share how I learned handling three types of dialogs—simple alerts, confirmation boxes, and prompts—using Playwright’s built-in features. Why Handle Dialogs? Dialogs often appear during critical user interactions, such as form submissions, error notifications, or data input requests. If ignored, they can cause tests to freeze or fail. Playwright’s dialog-handling capabilities allow you to: Validate dialog messages. Accept, dismiss, or respond to prompts programmatically. Keep tests resilient and predictable. Let’s explore how to tackle each type of dialog. 1.  Simple Alerts: The One-Way Notification A simple alert is a basic pop-up with an "OK" button. Example Scenario : A basic alert appears, shouting, "I am an alert box!...

Blog # 20 :🎪 Playwright Hooks: Your Test Suite’s Best Friends!

By
🎩 Why Hooks? The Magic Behind the Scenes When writing automated tests, especially for web applications, repetitive tasks like logging in before each test or cleaning up after the test run can quickly clutter your code. If you've found yourself copying the same setup code into multiple tests, you're not alone! Luckily, Playwright offers a powerful feature to solve this — hooks . Imagine you’re hosting a party 🥳. You wouldn’t clean the house after every guest leaves, right? Instead, you’d: 🏗️  Setup once (decorate, cook food) → beforeAll 🗑️ Clean as you go (refill snacks, wipe spills) → beforeEach/afterEach 💣Nuclear cleanup after everyone leaves → afterAll In testing terms: Hooks automate repetitive tasks so your tests can focus on what matters. 🔮 Meet the 4 Hooks 🚀 Your Code in Action: Login/Logout Flow Let’s automate a shopping site test (your code!). Step 1: beforeEach – The “Welcome Mat” Why it rocks: Every test starts fresh, logged in, and cookie-free! test. beforeEa...

Software Testing Heuristics and mnemonics.

By
Software Testing Heuristics Heuristics are simply experience-based techniques for problem-solving, learning, and discovery. Where an exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution. Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, or common sense. When you face a problem, you try some solutions that may work. For instance, if you suddenly find your mobile hang, what do you do? You may restart your mobile first. If that doesn’t work, then you may check & update the latest software and uninstall suspicious apps.if that also doesn’t work, then you reset your phone setting ( Factory reset). Most of us try a number of steps to solve our problems. These steps may not always work but we try them because we know that they may work. Following heuristics can apply to absolutely any kind of system with any kind of interface.  1.Abstract  Remove details in a model. S...

Blog # 4 : A Deep Dive into Playwright Assertions

By
  Ever spent hours debugging a test only to realize you forgot to check if a button was actually clickable? In web testing, the devil's in the details—and that's where assertions become your best friend. Let's explore how Playwright's assertion library can transform your testing strategy, using the popular The Internet testing playground. Why Assertions Matter Assertions are the backbone of any meaningful test. They're the checkpoints that scream, "This works!" or "Something's broken here!" Playwright's built-in expect library shines when testing real-world scenarios like authentication flows and dynamic content. Let's Start Testing: A Real-World Scenario We'll be testing key features of The Internet playground. Here's our foundation: Now let's add powerful assertions.

✍️ Blog #23: What I Learned About Annotations in Playwright

By
When I started, I thought writing tests was just about getting them to pass. But as the number of tests grew, I realized that being able to control which ones run, which to skip, and how to debug easily — is just as important. Let me take you through everything I’ve learned so far about Playwright’s annotations. 🔍 What Are Annotations? Annotations are special helpers in Playwright that let you modify test behavior without changing the actual logic of the test. They're great for: Focusing on a single test ( test.only ) Skipping unfinished or flaky ones ( test.skip ) Flagging tests that need fixing  ( test.fixme ) Allowing known failures  ( test.fail ) Marking slow tests  ( test.slow ) Think of them like post-it notes or switches you can stick on your tests to manage them better during testing. ✅ Test-Level Annotations These annotations go directly on individual tests. 🧪 test.only – Focus on One Test test. only ( 'run this test only' , async ...
