myAudit – Test Your Consent-Free INFOnline Measurement¶

This guide walks you step by step through the setup and use of myAudit — from marking your test device to validating the measurement results.

myAudit – Verify the Consent-Free Measurement on Your Services¶

myAudit is our tool for real-time quality assurance of your integration of the consent-free INFOnline Measurement. You can reliably test our measurement — without in-depth technical knowledge or the analysis of complex log files.

With myAudit, both native and hybrid mobile apps (iOS and Android) as well as websites can be checked for the correct integration and functionality of our measurement technology.

Activation is simple and straightforward: it is done by setting up a tester marking on your test device. For this, we use a VPN tunnel through the free WireGuard app, which redirects your test requests into a separate testing environment.

The characteristics of the measurement systems impose specific requirements on the test scenario. The following chapters describe the dependencies and related questions in detail:

• Preparation: How can I access myAudit and what do I need to consider?
• Device Marking: How can a device be marked as a tester?
• Testing: How can data be viewed safely and in real time?

Preparation¶

To prepare for testing, log in to the INFOnline Customer Center using your offer or customer login credentials and retrieve your login data for myAudit there.
If you log in using your customer login, you must first select one of your offer identifiers in the ‘Offer’ dropdown menu at the top right.

You will find the login data for myAudit under Settings in the Token Generator.

Based on your selected offer identifier, the Token Generator displays the following:

• Current Token
  Each offer identifier can use only one active token.
  This token is required to set up the tester marking.
  To replace the current token with a new one, simply click the ‘Generate new token’ button.
  You can normally continue to use a token for subsequent test runs of the same offer identifier.
  It is not necessary to generate a new token from a system perspective — we recommend doing so only in exceptional cases.

• Current Identifier
  The identifier is always uniquely associated with a token and is required for tester verification and login to the myAudit web frontend.

*Please note that the data shown in the screenshots are demo data.

Testing Websites and Apps with myAudit¶

To test our consent-free measurement (IOMb) on your website or in your mobile app (native, hybrid), it is necessary to mark the requests coming from your test device (browser, smartphone, tablet).

Due to restrictions in iOS and Android and the anonymous nature (no identifiers) of consent-free measurement, this marking must be performed using a special technology. With this technology, websites can also be tested. Additionally, there is another variant of the marking for websites.

We use a VPN tunnel to mark test devices, through which your requests are routed after setup. This VPN tunnel must be set up in the free WireGuard VPN app. For the setup, you will receive a QR code from us upon request (see checklist step 6), which you can simply scan in the WireGuard app to complete the setup.

Please note that a separate token must be stored for each offer identifier. The generated token can then be used continuously for tests of that offer identifier (it does not need to be regenerated for each test run).

Installing the WireGuard VPN App¶

The free WireGuard VPN app is required to mark requests from your test device. It must be downloaded from the respective app store and installed on the device.

Android

iOS

Windows

macOS

Setting Up the Tester Marking¶

A VPN tunnel for your myAudit token now needs to be set up in the WireGuard app on your test device.

1. Request access for the myAudit tester marking at support@infonline.de, providing the myAudit token and the associated offer identifier. You can find the myAudit token in the INFOnline Customer Center.

   1.1 Log in with your offer or customer login (customer login only: select the offer identifier).
   1.2 Open the Token Generator via Settings (gear icon at the top right).
   1.3 Copy the token (if using for the first time, it must be generated first).

2. Open the WireGuard app.
   

3. Tap the + icon or Add new tunnel.
   

4. Select Create from QR code.
   

5. Scan the QR code (sent by INFOnline Support), choose a name (freely selectable), and create the tunnel.
   

Testing Your App¶

1. Activate the VPN tunnel for your myAudit token in the WireGuard app.
   

2. Verify a successful connection. To do so, tap the activated tunnel. Under Transfer, the sent and received data should increase, and a recent successful handshake should be visible.
   

3. Log in to myAudit in a browser on any device using the offer identifier and the identifier of the myAudit token.

4. You can now view and verify the test requests from your marked device in the myAudit frontend.

Self-hosters of the INFOnline Service Platform¶

If you have decided to operate the Service Platform on your own infrastructure (self-hosting), we need additional information from you.

To enable marking of requests via the VPN tunnel, the appropriate certificates for the domain under which your service platform is accessible must be provided. To set up the testing feature on our side, we need the following from you:

• The certificate with the complete certificate chain in x509 format
• The corresponding Private Key for the certificate without a password in x509 format

Please send this information to us at support@infonline.de via whichever method suits you best.

myAudit - Alternative Tester Marking for Websites¶

In addition to the standard tester marking method via the WireGuard VPN app, website requests can alternatively be marked manually.
For this purpose, a custom user agent must be created directly in the browser and enriched with the myAudit token of your offer identifier from the INFOnline Customer Center.
Mobile websites (MEW) can usually only be simulated via the user agent switcher of the respective browser.

Test Marking with a Custom User Agent¶

The myAudit token of your offer identifier from the Token Manager in the INFOnline Customer Center must be appended to a custom user agent string.

To create a new user agent in your browser, we recommend using the integrated browser function.
All common modern browsers include a user agent switcher that allows you to create your own user agent and select it for your test sessions.

Using Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox as examples, we will show you how to set up the custom user agent.

Creating a Custom User Agent – Google Chrome¶

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to prepare your Google Chrome browser for testing with myAudit.

1. Open Developer Tools (F12)

2. Select Settings → Devices → Add custom device.
   The user agent must be configured once in the browser.

3. Create the Custom User Agent – Fill out the following fields and save:

• Device Name: You can choose any name (e.g., IOMaTestmobile)
• User agent string: Enter your current valid user agent string and append the myAudit token here (UserAgentString_Token)
• Screen size: Set any resolution depending on your test scenario
• Device type: Choose “Mobile” or “Desktop” depending on your test scenario

4. List the User Agent for Quick Selection
   Under Emulated Devices, check the box next to the new user agent.

5. Activate the Custom User Agent
   Once the new user agent is selected, it will be used for the active browser tab and mark the measurement requests for your test.
   Your test requests will now appear in myAudit.

Creating a Custom User Agent – Mozilla Firefox¶

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to prepare your Mozilla Firefox browser for testing with myAudit.

1. Open Settings ("hamburger menu") → More Options → Web Developer Tools (Ctrl + Shift + I)

2. Select “Responsive Design Mode” (Ctrl + Shift + M)

3. Activate Custom Device: Use the dropdown menu and select Edit list.

4. Click “Add Custom Device”

5. Create Custom Device – Fill out the following fields and save:

• Name: You can choose any name (e.g., IOMaTestmobile)
• User-Agent String: Enter your current token here
• Size: Set any resolution depending on your test scenario

6. List Custom Device for Quick Selection
   Scroll down in the device list to find your custom user agents under “Custom”.
   Check the boxes and close the list with the “x” icon.
   Your user agents will now appear in the quick selection menu.

7. Use Custom User Agent / Device via Quick Selection

Testing Mobile-Enabled Websites (MEW) and Google AMP Articles¶

The mobile version of your website can also be tested via the browser’s user agent switcher on your computer.
For this, you must (additionally) create and select a mobile custom user agent.

It is especially important that the user agent string contains a valid mobile user agent — for example, that of a current mobile Google Chrome.
The token for tester marking can then be appended to this valid mobile user agent string (UserAgentString_Token).

myAudit Web Interface¶

Testing with myAudit¶

To support your testing of the consent-free INFOnline Measurement (IOMb), we offer you a real-time display where you can view and export your test requests live. The data is available for up to 3 days retroactively.

myAudit

Login¶

Login is done via the INFOnline offer identifier and the identifier, which you can generate and view in the Token Generator within the INFOnline Customer Center.

• myAudit
• Identifier (Kennung): INFOnline offer identifier for testing (content of the “st” parameter in the measurement sensor)
• Identifier: Can be retrieved per offer identifier via the Token Generator

Dashboard¶

The dashboard displays your test requests almost in real time and stores them for up to three days.
The interface refreshes automatically every few seconds — manual reloading is not required.

You can rearrange the column order freely via drag & drop.

Presets for App and Website Tests¶

Optimized views are available for testing apps and websites: APP and WEB/MEW.
You can select the desired preset with a single click.
The Advanced preset displays all available parameters.

Menu – Custom Test Setup¶

Through the menu, you can show or hide columns within the presets, as well as reset column order and sorting.
This allows you to create a custom test setup per token, which will be saved as your default display in your browser.
Clearing your browser cache and cookies will reset these settings.

myAudit Token¶

This section displays the myAudit token used to mark your test device.
The token always corresponds to one INFOnline offer identifier and must be stored either in your browser or in the VPN configuration through the WireGuard app.
Only measurement requests generated from a marked device can be viewed.

Additional Options¶

• Date Selection: In addition to viewing real-time test requests for the current day, you can also retrieve test data from the past three days.
