This document discusses automating Google Analytics (GA) testing for LINE TODAY. It proposes using Robotframework with Appium to simulate user actions in the LINE app and confirm that GA events are recorded correctly. It provides details on initializing the GA Reporting API to retrieve reports and examples of dimensions, metrics, and sample report requests. Code snippets demonstrate how to set up a service account and get credentials to access the GA Reporting API. The goal is to test new features for side effects and avoid human errors by automating the process of validating GA events.
