Testing and Debugging

Prove it works

5 sections about 52 min

  1. 01 Debugging Tools Overview Testing works down the solution list, one row at a time. The five stages a value travels, which tool can see each stage, and where the finding gets written.
  2. 02 Adobe Experience Platform Debugger The extension that puts names on a tracking call and shows which rules fired. What it reads, what it cannot see, and one change made in 2026.
  3. 03 Browser Developer Tools The request is the only fact on the chain. How to find a hit, read it without help, and run the test that separates a data layer fault from a rule fault.
  4. 04 Real-Time Validation Real-time reporting shows data within two minutes of collection. What it can confirm during a test session, what it refuses to show, and how to plan the wait.
  5. 05 Common Issues and Solutions The faults that recur in Adobe Analytics implementations. What each symptom means, where to look for the cause, and the two that remove data silently.

About this module

Finding out whether your implementation is telling the truth. The Adobe debugger, browser tools, real-time validation, and how to read a hit.

An analytics implementation has no visible output. When it breaks, the pages still load, nothing reports an error, and the fault surfaces months later in a report somebody built for another reason.

This module is about finding those faults. It covers the five stages a value travels between a website and a report, which tool can see each stage, and how to tell a data layer problem from a rule problem in about a minute. It ends with the faults that keep recurring, including two that remove data so quietly nobody notices for a quarter.
