Testing
Before you deploy your attach module to the Test or Production server, be sure to verify its elements.
Step 1: Verify the final request URL
First, add the https: protocol to the final request URL, like this:
https://xsell.expedia.com/xsell-pwa.js?partnerId=affiliate_prod_test&outboundEndDateTime=2024-08-29T05%3A54%3A02&destinationTla=LAS&bookingStatus=confirmed&signature=rXVm0wUD5V5L3rHZejI_GHczGd8
Next, load the URL in a browser. You should see a 200 status. The response will contain Javascript as shown below:
Step 2: Verify the iframe URL
Copy the iframeSrc URL (endpoint xsell-iframe-v3) from the JavaScript response. For example:
https://www.expedia.com/xsell-iframe-v3?partnerId=affiliate_prod_test&outboundEndDateTime=2024-08-29T05%3A54%3A02&destinationTla=LAS&bookingStatus=confirmed&requestId=affiliate_prod_test32ebfcaf-a028-4555-bdc3-173953b79a5d&signature=ssQgHqbeIPx8Z52wc9dIEgrQOqg
You can verify the attach module by loading the iframeSrc URL in a browser.
Step 3: Verify results post-deployment
Once the module is deployed, you should make sure that it’s working as expected.
- Navigate to the page where the attach module is integrated.
- Right click and select Inspect to open the developer tools.
- In the developer tools pane, go to the Network tab.
- Reload the page with the Network tab open.
- In the updated Network tab, check the URLs that include
xsell-pwa.js(this is the final request URL) andxsell-ifram-v3. If the attach module has been loaded successfully on the page, these URLs should have a successful status of 200.
Note: You could also copy and paste these URLs separately and load them on the browser to verify the attach module.
We recommend that you create a list of test cases and expected results for each of the lines of business (LOBs) you’re using to be sure that all use cases are working.
Example: Hotel attach module test cases
| Test case | Expected result |
|---|---|
| Validate attach module display | Configured display (embedded or overlay) is shown |
