Test Plan

The following is a test procedure which allows you to verify that your Rover integration is complete and working.

1. Installation and Initialization

1.1 Validate Correct Token

Using Charles, inspect the network traffic and ensure the proper account token is being used. You can find this in the x-rover-account-token header. The correct value can be found in the Rover Settings app labelled “SDK Token”.

Rover deep links use a specific URL scheme assigned to your Rover account. You can find this in the Rover Settings app labelled “URL Scheme”. Throughout this section of the test plan we will use rv-my-app when constructing example deep links. Any time you see this value you should replace it with the correct URL scheme for your app.

Visit rv-my-app://presentSettings in Safari. It should prompt to open the URL in your app. The app should open and display the Rover Settings screen.

Open an Experience in the Rover Experiences app, and click on the chain/link icon on the right side of the grey top bar. In the dialog box to find the experience Deep Link.

Visit the deep link in Safari on the device. It should prompt to open the URL in your app. The app should open and display the experience associated with the URL.

Visit rv-my-app://presentNotificationCenter in Safari. It should prompt to open the URL in your app. The app should open and display the Rover Notification Center.

Rover Universal Links use a specific domain assigned to your Rover account. You can find this in the Rover Settings app labelled “Associated Domain”. Throughout this section of the test plan we will use my-app.rover.io when constructing example Universal Links. Any time you see this value you should replace it with the correct associated domain for your app.

3.1 Site Association File

After following the Site Association instructions on the Rover developer website, Rover will host an Apple App Site Association File for you. You can access the file at your associated domain and the path expected by Apple. E.g. https://my-app.rover.io/.well-known/apple-app-site-association. View your association file in the browser and ensure the appID value is correct as outlined on the Rover developer website.

Open an Experience in the Rover Experiences app, and click on the chain/link icon on the right side of the grey top bar. In the dialog box to find experience’s Published Web Link.

Visit the link in Safari on the device. It should prompt to open the URL in your app. The app should open and display the experience associated with the URL.

4. Syncing Data

4.1 Foreground Syncing

Ensure your device is connected to Charles and start in the terminated state. Open the app to initiate the app initialization process. Watch the network traffic and look for a query to Rover’s GraphQL API named Sync. Put the app in the background and open it again. You should see the same call made again.

4.2 Background Syncing

Send your device a push notification from a Scheduled Notification campaign from the Rover Campaigns app and ensure the “Content Available” option is enabled in the Advanced Settings step. Monitor the network traffic from your device using Charles. When the push is received you should see a query to Rover’s GraphQL API named Sync.

5. Events

5.1 Foreground Flushing

With your device connected to Charles, open your app and wait 30 seconds. You should see the trackEvents mutation being called on Rover’s GraphQL API.

5.2 Background Flushing

With your device connected to Charles, open your app and then immediately close it. You should see a trackEvents mutation being called on Rover’s GraphQL API.

6. Push Notifications

6.1 Push Token

Open the Settings view in your app via the deep link described in 2.1. Take note of your device identifier. Open the Rover Audience app in a browser and find your device. Make sure your device has a valid push token assigned to it.

6.2 Background Push

Create a scheduled notification campaign. With your app in the background, press the Send a Test button and select your test device. Verify the push notification is received.

6.3 Foreground Push

Create a scheduled notification campaign. With your app in the foreground, publish the campaign. Verify the push notification is received.

6.4 Rich Media

Create a scheduled notification campaign. Add an attachment to the notification. press the Send a Test button and select your test device. Verify the push notification is received and the image is attached.

6.5 Foreground Tap Behavior

Create a scheduled notification campaign with the tap behavior set to “Present an experience”. With your app in the foreground, press the Send a Test button and select your test device. Tap the push notification when it is received. Verify the experience is displayed.

6.6 Background Tap Behavior

Create a scheduled notification campaign with the tap behavior set to “Present an experience”. With your app in the background, press the Send a Test button and select your test device. Tap the push notification when it is received. Verify the experience is displayed.

6.7 Terminated Tap Behavior

Create a scheduled notification campaign with the tap behavior set to “Present an experience”. With your app in the terminated state (force quit), press the Send a Test button and select your test device. Tap the push notification when it is received. Verify the experience is displayed.

7. Location

7.1 Location Permissions

Open your app at least once, and ensure that you’ve gone through your user flow where you ask the user to opt into the Location Permission. In the iOS Settings app, navigate to Privacy → Location Services and verify that your app is listed with a value of “Always”.

7.2 Location Sync

Perform a sync with your device connected to Charles. Assuming 4.1 Foreground Syncing is working correctly, the easiest way to perform a sync is to just open the app. Watch the network traffic in Charles and look for a query to Rover’s GraphQL API named Sync and ensure that the request contains values for beaconsFirst and geofencesFirst.

7.3 Location Updates

Perform an event flush with your device connected to Charles. Assuming 5.2 Background Flushing is working correctly, the easiest way to perform an event flush is to put your app in the background. Watch the network traffic in Charles and look for the trackEvents mutation. The JSON payload contains an array of events. Inspect one or more of the events and ensure it contains a device.location property.

When the device’s location updates “significantly” the Rover SDK will capture the details of the device’s current location and attach it to all events going forward. Before you can test this functionality you need to trigger a device location update. The device will usually trigger a location update when it is first launched from a terminated state however that is not guaranteed. From Apple engineers we’ve learned that a general rule of thumb is that the device will trigger a location update whenever the device moves approximately 500 metres. If the device.location property on your events is null try “force quitting” your app and reaping or move a significant distance with your device and try again.

8. User Info

The User Info section of the Rover documentation explains how you can attach properties about the current user to the device which will show up in the Audience app and can be used for segmentation or personalization.

8.1 Setting User Info

Perform an action in your app which causes your app to set some user info properties on the Rover SDK. Perform an event flush with your device connected to Charles. Assuming 5.2 Background Flushing is working correctly, the easiest way to perform an event flush is to put your app in the background. Watch the network traffic in Charles and look for the trackEvents mutation. The JSON payload contains an array of events. Inspect one or more of the events and ensure it contains a device.userInfo property. Ensure the value of this property matches the expected user info properties set by your app.

9. Ticketmaster

9.1 Ticketmaster Sign In

Open the app and sign-in to Ticketmaster through the Presence SDK. After you’ve signed in, perform a sync with your device connected to Charles. Assuming 4.1 Foreground Syncing is working correctly, the easiest way to perform a sync is to just open the app. Watch the network traffic in Charles and look for a query to Rover’s GraphQL API named Sync and ensure that the request contains a value for ticketmasterHostMemberID or ticketmasterMemberID. Ensure the HTTP response body includes a value for data.ticketmaster.

9.2 Ticketmaster Sign Out

After completing step 9.1, verify that the ticketmaster fields disappear from subsequent sync requests after signing out of ticketmaster in the app.

10. Sync

iOS allows apps to mark themselves as being “Background Fetch” enabled, and the OS will from time to time heuristically wake up the app in the background to perform a sync.

10.1 iOS Background Fetch

With the app deployed to your device through Xcode, select the “Simulate Background Fetch” option in the “Debug” menu. Monitor the network traffic from your device using Charles. When the push is received you should see a query to Rover’s GraphQL API named Sync.
