Exclude Web Analytics and Other Tracking Tools from Test Statisctics

Web analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others can introduce errors during web application performance testing. These errors often occur when test requests, which are sent by applications like Dotcom-Monitor, interact with tracking pixels, web beacons, or JavaScript used for bot detection on websites. Web analytics services may classify Dotcom-Monitor’s automated requests as bot traffic, leading to blocked requests and errors in test results.

To filter out elements that return errors, enable network filters and add filter rules to a test script:

In the EveryStep script editor, access the script context menu and choose Network > Filter.
Select the Deny option.
Specify the domain mask in the filter configuration window.

NetworkFilter.Deny ("*domain-to-be-ignored.com*");

Goodle Analytics Example:

NetworkFilter.Deny ("*google-analytics.com*");
