AdMob Mediation Test Suite is available to all users!

[Eric Leichtenschlag (Mobile Ads SDK Team)]

Hello Android AdMob Developers,

We have just launched an open beta for the AdMob Mediation Test Suite, which helps you in the process of integrating third-party networks in your apps for mediation.

The AdMob Mediation Test Suite allows you to test whether you have correctly configured your application and ad units to be able to display ads from third-party networks via AdMob Mediation, as well as load ads for each ad network in your ad unit individually to confirm ad loading is working properly.

Please see the Android Guide for detailed instructions on how to get started with Mediation Test Suite.

Your feedback on the difficulties faced while implementing mediation has been a key factor in the planning and development of this tool. If you have any questions about this tool or feedback on how to improve it, please write to us on a separate thread in this forum.

Thanks,

Eric, Mobile Ads SDK team
