User Analytics Testing - SeleniumCamp 2015Marcus Merrell
Many companies are using Web & User Analytics, but few are actually testing whether or not the data is accurate. This presentation gives a brief introduction to the subject of analytics, and presents some general ideas for how a QA team can effectively get involved in ensuring they are being implemented properly.
The intended audience is Quality Assurance professionals who test public-facing web sites that seek to gather information via Google Analytics, Site Catalyst/Omniture, an internal/proprietary system, or some other way of gathering data. It favors test automation for testing, but no prior knowledge is required.
Why Does My Conversion Rate Suck? Craig Sullivan, Senior Optimisation Consult...PRWD

Craig covers common problems and topic areas such as issues with Google Analytics setup, inputs, tools, testing, testing cycles, product cycles, Photo UX, how to analyse statistics / Data, segmentation, multiple channel optimisation. The resource pack also include a maturity model, Crowd-sourced UX, collaborative tools, testing tools for CRO & QA, Belron Methodology example, and CRO and testing resources.
Automated Analytics Testing with Open Source ToolsTechWell
Analytics are an increasingly important capability of any large web site or application. When a user selects an option or clicks a button, dozens—if not hundreds—of behavior-defining “beacons” fire off into a black box of “big data” to be correlated with the usage patterns of thousands of other users. In the end, all these little data points form a constellation of information your organization will use to determine its course. But what if it doesn’t work? A misconfigured site option or an errant variable might seem insignificant, but if 10,000 users are firing 10,000 incorrect values concerning their click patterns, it suddenly becomes a problem for the QA department―a department which is often left out of conversations involving analytics. Join Marcus Merrell to learn how analytics work, how to get involved early, and how to integrate analytics testing into the normal QA process, using Selenium and other open source tools, to prevent those misfires from slipping through.
Slides to go with a talk on rapid, lightweight research you can do before tackling a landing page, funnel step or lead-gen form. Comes complete with all the Google Analytics reports you'll need to mine useful data to share! Less bullshit, more truth in meetings!

A nadie escapa que la seguridad informática es cada día más una cuestión en boca de todos. Ya sea como meros usuarios de servicios de Internet, ya sea como empresas o profesionales que operan en el entorno digital, todos manejamos información sensible en soporte digital, propia o de terceros, y somos vulnerables a que dicha información sea filtrada en la red contra nuestra voluntad. El insuficiente cuidado de estos activos, unido a la pericia de hackers que actúan muchas veces de manera impune, puede ocasionar filtraciones de datos de carácter personal, revelación de secretos industriales, violaciones de propiedad intelectual o el parón indeseado en la prestación de servicios, lo que se traduce frecuentemente en procedimientos judiciales o en durísimas sanciones por parte de la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.
Desde el punto de vista empresarial, las organizaciones (grandes y pequeñas) han de afanarse en el cuidado de la información empresarial, de sus usuarios y clientes. Desde la óptica del particular, el cuidado de sus derechos en el entorno digital es ya una realidad y cuenta para ello con múltiples herramientas técnicas y jurídicas, muchas veces desconocidas. Por todo ello, resulta vital conocer las reglas del juego del entorno digital. La jornada pretende servir como punto de encuentro, discusión y debate sobre esta incipiente realidad, además de convertirse en lugar donde abordar los temas de mayor actualidad y especial relevancia de esa gran asignatura pendiente del ecosistema digital, que es la seguridad informática.

Strategies for Mobile Web Application TestingTechWell
Mobile web testing is still a widely unexplored territory—with no standardized tools or testing processes—where testers often struggle due to lack of guidance and resources. With mobile devices, tools, operating systems, and web technologies rapidly evolving, testers must adapt their thinking in this quickly changing domain. Raj Subramanian is a tester who went through this experience, trying out different testing approaches including paired exploratory testing, blink tests, and tools to get quick feedback on the web pages. Raj provides a basic foundation for mobile web testing by explaining the mobile ecosystem and device selection strategies. He shares his experiences in testing a mobile web application used by millions of people worldwide. He discusses the lessons learned from testing “responsive web sites”―the idea that every website should render properly for every form factor of a particular device. Finally, Raj shares his vision for the future of mobile web testing.

Editor's Notes
“A piece of paper with your design mockup. A customer in a shop or bookstore. Their finger is their mouse, the paper their screen. Where would they click? Do they know what these labels mean? Do they see the major routes out of the page? Any barriers.Congratulations, you just got feedback on your design, before writing a single freaking line of code or asking your developers to keep changing stuff.”

Create a suck index = pageviews * load time.
Here I show you some examples of well known brands, some of whom should know better. The larger the size of the page, the longer it will take to download and render on the device, especially when you don’t have perfect data conditions. The numberof requests also makes a difference, as it’s inefficient on mobile to open lots of connections like this. In short, the smaller the pagesize and number of requests you can aim for, the better. I’m patient with bad data connections but do people have the tolerance for 10-15 seconds on mobile? No – it has to happen much faster.
These are the results of a live test on a site, where an artificial delay is introduced in the performance testing. I’ve done some testing like this myself on desktop and mobile sites and confirm this is true – you’re increasing bounce rate, decreasing conversion, site engagement…It doesn’t matter what metric you use, performance equals MONEY or if not measured, a HUGE LOSS.
Performance also harms the lifeblood of e-commerce and revenue generating websites – repeat visitors! The gap here in one second of delay is enormous over time. You’re basically sucking a huge portion of potential business out of your site, with every additional bit of waiting time you add.
Add unique phone numbers to all your mobile sites and apps. That’s for starters.Then configure your analytics to collect data when people Click or Tap to make a phone call.Make sure you add other events like ringbacks, email, chat – any web forms or lead gen activity too.
