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

Working with Launch: Libraries
(For Feike, who was an awesome colleague, and a terrific human being) (This may or may not be the first installment in a series of "Working with Launch" articles. I feel there are a lot of things that I want to write about, so we'll see.) Today, I want to point out two aspects of … Continue reading Working with Launch: Libraries
A Standard Data Model for Requirements
Adam Greco recently wrote three articles about how you can embed business requirements into Adobe Analytics Workspaces ("Adobe Analytics Requirements and SDR in Workspace" I, II, and III) in order to help data consumers understand. His method goes all the way from "this is why we added eVarXY" to "78% of requirements are currently tracked … Continue reading A Standard Data Model for Requirements
How to debug Launch, by Adobe
DTM is quite a bit easier to use and handle than Launch is. Partly, Launch is new and we are all on the upwards slope of the learning curve. Partly, Launch opens up whole new worlds. For those of you working with/in DTM and/or Launch, this is a pretty cool time. I once wrote about … Continue reading How to debug Launch, by Adobe
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
Useful Data Elements
Every one of us has a bag full of little tricks that they carry with them. The bag contains knowledge, ideas that we developed with or for customers, snippets of code, pieces of architectural blue prints, and much more. This blog, every now and again, empties the bag onto the floor and explains some of … Continue reading Useful Data Elements

The cool thing about Analytics, from the point of view of a developer: once you have set it up, it is completely maintenance-free! Fire and forget! Or is it? The truth is that a) "once you have set it up" is not the way I would describe Analytics (or other things like targeting, personalisation, testing, … Continue reading Maintenance
