Automated dashboard testing

Anyone any experience with automated testing of Splunk dashboards. 
I'm looking for something to test whether all drilldowns and dropdowns work and preferably data check if numbers add up.

I use Eggplant https://www.keysight.com/us/en/product/EG1000A/eggplant-test.html    ( https://support.eggplantsoftware.com/downloads/eggplant-functional-downloads )

Eggplant understands GUI controls natively - doesn't just check the HTML source - it actually checks what the user sees.

Had great success testing swing clients, mobile apps across multiple platforms.
You would probaly have to write some scripting to check the math.

@Iris  - I have also never done it myself but I have thought of it a couple of times.

I think a more widely known option is Selenium for web application testing. You can try that.

 

I hope this helps!!!

Selenium works for a big part, but unfortunately not with dropdowns. Might need a combination of tools!

Hi @Iris,

I never tested atomatic testing tools on Splunk but many years ago I used LoadRunner on other web applications.

Are you searching a tool or what else?

Ciao.
