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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
Automating Tests
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 all of this should be integrated with the …

Wanna test? Mac Edition
Yay! Testing! My beloved pet peeve! When I wrote the step by step article on how to set up for testing on Windows, I optimistically and somewhat dismissively wrote I am 100% sure you can easily show your friendly marketer how to do all of this on her Mac if she has one. Turns out …
Testing is like an Onion
I have tried to justify my approach to testing for digital marketing a couple of times. Given that tools like ObservePoint or HubScan are available, the fundamental question is: do you need my approach at all? My personal answer to that, obviously, is yes, you do! If I have formerly convinced you, feel free to …
Test-driven & agile Analytics revisited
In 2014, I went to Berlin to attend "Digital Analytics Hub", probably the best "conference" in our business. DA Hub evolved out of Gary Angel's Xchange. You sit in small groups of people with one discussion leader, and you speak about interesting subjects. Those "discussions" can be anything between good and outstanding, depending on the …

Wanna test? Here’s how
[2016-06-12 - update - changed github repo] I have been writing about testing for some time now. I have even spoken about it at the EMEA Adobe Summit! So this week, for the first time since starting this blog, let me address your friendly marketer instead of you. The only ask for you, dear developer, …
My Summit session now viewable online
This is not technically a post, but May is a month with 5 Tuesdays, so: If you weren't able to come to Summit, or just missed the session, I'm happy to announce that you can now see Craig Scribner and me speak about Data Quality! The recording is available online, though you have to drop …
