In this talk, we take you through the journey of developing and testing a JMP add-in. Along the way, we first introduce the statistical problem that we were facing, which was designing discrete choice experiments tailored to different demographic groups so that they can more efficiently learn how to use the JMP Easy DOE platform.

Following this, we discuss the process of developing an add-in using the JMP scripting language (JSL) and highlight how our add-in helped us solve multiple instances of our statistical problem in a seamless and efficient manner. 

Lastly, we talk about the process of validating our add-in to ensure it was operating as intended through the use of the JSL unit testing framework. The automated unit testing scripts we wrote using the JSL unit testing framework also allowed us to see if any bugs or errors were introduced as we refined the add-in, significantly aiding the development process.
