This article is part of the Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKs mini-series. It is about debugging your app. You can find the overview here. Today, we'll talk about an aspect of development that, on mobile apps, is a royal pain, at least compared to the browser-based and extension-supported debugging we do when we deploy on … Continue reading Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKs – Debugging

Articles about TDD, test-driven development, or about testing in general
BDD > TDD – Site Infrastructure Test v4
Back towards the end of April, a test manager at one of my clients listened to me talk about the test framework I had built over the last couple of years. He was supportive and eager to run tests. He also very casually asked me why I hadn't considered "Behaviour-driven development", BDD, instead of TDD. … Continue reading BDD > TDD – Site Infrastructure Test v4
Testing with ChromeDriver
Good news, I have changed my testing framework to use ChromeDriver rather than HTMLUnit. HTMLUnit didn't cut it, and rather than going back to phantomJS — which hasn't been updated in quite a while — I decided to do the right thing ™. The only downside: there is currently no way to filter. I know … Continue reading Testing with ChromeDriver
Data Quality & Testing – Some Thoughts from Others
I want to share two articles with you that I felt nicely threw spotlights on testing. The first one, called TDD & "Professionalism" (I love that title!) by Jason Gorman, builds a Venn diagram based on 4 values, or 4 corner stones of what the author calls "professional". A "professional" "doesn't ship untested code", "doesn't … Continue reading Data Quality & Testing – Some Thoughts from Others
Bad Data – Prevention & other Aspects
Someone asked me the other day: if I cannot currently run tests to improve data quality, is there anything else I can do to make my data better? Now there's a good question! The obvious, easy, and somewhat lame answer is: well, why can't you run tests? You'd be able to catch and prevent, like, … Continue reading Bad Data – Prevention & other Aspects
Automated Testing – Blocking Tracking
One more on automated testing, if you allow me. Yesterday evening (i.e. on July 17th, as this post is scheduled to go live on the 18th), I will hopefully have updated the test framework on github. There are two big changes in this new version, and those to have to be explained. I swapped out … Continue reading Automated Testing – Blocking Tracking
Debugging 2017.07

5 months ago I jokingly decided to put versions into the titles of articles about debugging. I seem to be wiser than I think I am... This article is about the "Adobe Experience Cloud Debugger" Chrome extension, a replacement for a bunch of other debuggers and extensions, and for some, maybe even for Charles. The … Continue reading Debugging 2017.07
More tests, more fun
Since the Summits, there has been some interest in the test framework I keep flogging on this blog, and rightfully so, imnsho! They say that no plan survives first contact with reality, and the same is true for those who have started to use the framework. It is amazing how much abstraction goes on in … Continue reading More tests, more fun
Data Quality at the Adobe Summit
This year, I had the opportunity to run a hands-on lab about data quality at the Adobe Summit in Las Vegas, and I'll run the same lab again in London on the 10th. The lab was mainly about the test framework I also write about here a lot. My hope was that I could introduce … Continue reading Data Quality at the Adobe Summit
Automating Tests
[180418 - updated to reflect move to ChromeDriver] I feel like a fraud! For months — no! Years! — I have been writing about testing, more specifically automated testing. I have shared my Site Infrastructure Tests github, I have spoken about it at the Adobe Summit in London, and I have mentioned multiple times that … Continue reading Automating Tests
