Denote automated functional testing as a test in the request so we can filter from analytics
For skills that are live and going through cert again, the automated functional tests cause a spike in the 3rd party analytics. We would like to be able to filter them out/not send them to analytics but there is not a field in the request from these tests to denote they are tests.

Totally agree, I have 100s of slots and the spike in traffic the automated testing causes is huge. For my skill I use custom metrics, this actually costs me money as well. It seems unreasonable for Amazon to claim that you can develop skills for free when their own automated tests, which are not disclosed anywhere, cause you to incur costs due to abnormal traffic. I don't think this is acceptable.
