Computer-implemented methods and systems for testing online systems and content

摘要

Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for scanning web sites and/or parsing web content, including for testing online opt-out systems and/or cookies used by online systems. In accordance with one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided for testing an opt-out system associated with at least one advertising system that uses cookies. The method includes transmitting a first request to an opt-out system, wherein the first request corresponds to a first test for testing at least one of the opt-out system and an advertising system; receiving a first stream sent in response to the first request; determining a first outcome of the first test based on the first stream; and generating a report based on the first outcome.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for testing a computer system including an opt-out system, the method comprising the following operations performed by one or more processors:
sending, by a test system, an opt-out request to the opt-out system, the opt-out request simulating an opt-out request sent from an Internet browser; receiving data from the opt-out system in response to the opt-out request sent by the test system; and analyzing the data from the opt-out system to determine an outcome of the testing.
