About this task

To use the Event Tester, complete the following steps.

Workflow

Procedure

  1. Select or load a session as test data.
  2. Run the test. All active events are tested against the selected session.
  3. You must select events or hit attributes or both whose results you want to view.
  4. After you selected a session and the events and/or hit attributes to test in it, the results are available for review. See Event Tester - View Results tab.

Results

Note: If you are attempting to test a specific event on your web application, you may find it easiest to create the session yourself using a unique means of identifying the event. For example, you might know that a form field value is tracked as a searchable event by Discover. Go to your web application, enter a value in this tracked field, and then complete the activity that triggers the event you are testing. To find the session:
  • Look for it in the Active sessions page. See "Monitoring Active Sessions" in the Unica Discover Manuals.
  • Search for it as an active session. See "Searching Session Data" in the Unica Discover Manuals.

You can then send the session to the Event tester through the session list.
