'Up vote' system

[ISNIT0]

We should figure out how/if we want this up vote system for 'I found a bug with this' to work.

Low priority for now, but could be fun to do with Google Sheets API 😄

Good idea. And Google Sheets would mean we can process the data directly. Another option (which we could use in parallel) is to create a custom field (a metric or a dimension) https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2709828?hl=en

I'm reading the docs to see if there's a clear choice on which would be more suitable.

Some thoughts after reading the much improved documentation: We'd like to track:

• which heuristics are visited (and perhaps read)
• which terms are visited (and perhaps read)
• whether the user found bugs for heuristics and/or terms (as indicated by their +1)

It'd also be interesting to know:

• how many bugs they report in a testing session
• which product (or app) they were testing (if known and if they provide this info)[1]

Perhaps it'd be fun for users to have a leaderboard that shows their progress? The user of the app could optionally login using a Google account (for instance) if they want their name to be tracked.

[1] I can envisage various ways we could gather this information e.g.

• The tester could select the app by visiting Google Play or the iOS App Store etc. while using our software. We then (in code) set the value of the app and present it when the user +1's a heuristic or term.
• The user interacts with a Javascript-based page where they provide this info

We'll need to sketch out the data structures and the reports we hope to generate & then decide how to implement the analytics. Sketching could be in the form of tables 'drawn' here.
