Personalization is becoming increasingly popular in a number of industries (take retail or travel, for example). And consumers have come to expect relevant messages, tailored specifically for them.

People are no longer making purchases based solely on the quality/functionality/capabilities of specific goods and services, but are instead buying based on the overall brand experience. […]

As you may know, unit testing and test-driven development (TDD) are important for making sure your code complies with the design, is scalable among your team, and provides automated regression. Often times, the JUnit test and component back-end Java code come hand in hand. An AEM developer who writes the component logic is also responsible […]
