Automating Tableau Reports Validation: The Easy Path to Trusted Insights 

Automating Tableau Reports Validation is essential to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and reliability across multiple scenarios. Manual validation can be time-consuming and prone to human error, especially when dealing with complex dashboards and large datasets. By leveraging automation, organizations can streamline the validation process, quickly detect discrepancies, and enhance overall data integrity.

Going ahead, we’ll explore automation of Tableau reports validation and how it is done.

Importance of Automating Tableau Reports Validation

Automating Tableau report validation provides several benefits, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and reliability in BI reporting.

Automating the reports validation reduces the time and effort, which allows analysts to focus on insights rather than troubleshooting the errors

Automation prevents data discrepancies and ensures all reports are pulling in consistent data

Many Organizations deal with high volumes of reports and dashboards. It is difficult to manually validate each report. Automating the reports validation becomes critical to maintain efficiency.

Organizations update their Tableau dashboards very frequently, sometimes daily. On automating the reports validation process, a direct comparison is made between the previous and current data to detect changes or discrepancies. This ensures metrics remain consistent after each data refresh.

BI Validator simplifies BI testing by providing a platform for automated BI report testing. It enables seamless regression, stress, and performance testing, making the process faster and more reliable.

Tableau reports to Database data comparison ensures that the records from the source data are reflected accurately in the visuals of Tableau reports.

This validation process extracts data from Tableau report visuals and compares it with SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, or other databases. Datagaps DataOps Suite BI Validator streamlines this by pulling report data, applying transformations, and verifying consistency through automated row-by-row and aggregate comparisons (e.g., counts, sums, averages).

The errors detected usually identify missing, duplicate or mismatched records.

Automation ensures these issues are caught early, reducing manual effort and improving trust in reporting.

Tableau Regression

In the DataOps suite, Regression testing is done by comparing the benchmarked version of tableau report with the live version of the report through Tableau Regression component.

This Tableau regression component can be very useful for automating the testing of Tableau reports or Dashboards during in-place upgrades or changes.

A diagram of a process AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Tableau Upgrade

Tableau Upgrade Component in BI validator helps in automated report testing by comparing the same or different reports of same or different Tableau sources.

The comparison is done in the same manner as regression testing where the differences between the reports can be pointed out both in terms of text as well as appearance.

Generate BI DataFlows is a handy and convenient feature provided by Datagaps DataOps suite to generate multiple dataflows at once for Business Intelligence components like Tableau.

Generate BI DataFlows feature is beneficial in migration scenarios as it enables efficient data comparison between the original and migrated platforms and supports the validations like BI source, Regression and Upgrade. By generating multiple dataflows based on selected reports, users can quickly detect discrepancies or inconsistencies that may arise during the migration process, ensuring data integrity and accuracy while minimizing potential errors. Furthermore, when dealing with a large volume of reports, this feature speeds up the validation process, minimizes manual effort, and improves overall efficiency in detecting and resolving inconsistencies.

As seen from the image, the wizard starts by generating the Dataflow details. The connection details like the engine, validation type, Source-Data Source and Target-Data Source are to be provided by users.

Note: BI source validation and Regression validation types do not prompt for Target-Data source

Let’s take a closer look at the steps involved in “Generate BI Dataflows”

Reports

The Reports section prompts users to select pages from the required reports in the validation process. For Data Compare validation and Upgrade Validation, both source and target pages will be required. For other cases, only the source page will be needed.

Here is a sample screenshot of the extraction of source and target pages from the source and target report respectively

Visual Mapping and Column Mapping (only in Data Compare Validation)

The "Visual Mapping" section allows users to load and compare source and target pages and then establish connections between corresponding tables.

It consists of three sections namely Source Page, Target Page, and Mapping.

In the source page and target page, respective Tableau worksheets are loaded and on selecting the worksheets option, users can preview the data.

After loading the source and target pages, in the mapping section, the dataset columns of source and target will be automatically mapped for each mapping.

After Visual Mapping, the "Column Mapping" section displays the columns of the source dataset and target dataset that were selected for the data comparison. It provides a count of the number of dataset columns that are mapped and unmapped in the "Mapped" and "Unmapped" tabs respectively.

Filters (for the rest of the validation types)

The filters section enables users to apply the filters and parameters on the reports to help in validating them. These filters can either be applied and selected directly through reports or they can be parameterized as well.

Options section varies depending on the type of validation selected by the user. Options section is the pre final stage of generating the flows where some of the advanced options and comparison options are prompted to be selected as per the liking of the user to get the results as they like.

Here’s a sample screenshot of options section before generating the dataflows

This screenshot indicates report to report comparison options to be selected.

Generate section helps to generate multiple dataflows with the selected type of validation depending on the number of selected workbooks for tableau.

The above screenshot indicates that four dataflows are set to be generated on clicking the Generate BI Dataflows button. These dataflows are the same type of validation (Tableau Regression Validation in this case)

Stress Test Plan

To automate the stress testing and performance testing of Tableau Reports, Datagaps DataOps suite BI Validator comes with a component called Stress Test Plan to simulate the number of users actively accessing the reports to analyze how Tableau reports and dashboards perform under heavy load. Results of the stress test plan can be used to point out performance issues, optimize data models and queries to ensure the robustness of the Tableau environment to handle heavy usage patterns. Stress Test Plan allows users to perform the stress testing for multiple views from multiple workbooks at once enabling the flexibility and automation to check for performance bottlenecks of Tableau reports.

For more information on Stress Test Plan, check out “Tableau Performance Testing”.

Integration with CI/CD tools and Pipelines

In addition to these features, DataOps Suite comes with other interesting features like application in built pipelines where the set of Tableau BI dataflows can be run automatically in a certain order either in sequence or parallel.

Also, there’s an inbuilt scheduler in the application where the users can schedule the run of these pipelines involving these BI dataflows well in advance. The jobs can be scheduled to run once or repeatedly as well.

Achieve the seamless and automated Tableau report validation with the advanced capabilities of Datagaps DataOps Suite BI Validator.

Lin Kuei trio (Childhood fanfic drabble)

Kuai Liang and Bi-Han attempt to build a birdhouse (because why not), Tomas is there too just being himself. The three having a little bonding session, basically.

Mostly just straight up humour/brotherly bonding. Might end up as something more (aka in my AO3 childhood Lin Kuei series), might not- enjoy regardless! Tons of fun to write.

//

“You’re doing that wrong.”

Bi-Han huffed, rolling his eyes. “Shut up.”

“I’m just saying,” Kuai Liang shrugged, the instructions held close to his face as he squinted at the fine print. His finger dragged dramatically along each word, “You skipped step six.” He tapped the paper for exaggeration, “Very important step, you know.”

“I don’t care,”

Kuai scoffed. “Rude.”

Wispy, grey curls appeared in Bi-Han’s peripheral vision, a small, pale face peering around his shoulder, curiously gauging the mess around him. “What doing?”

“Hey Tomas. We’re making a birdhouse,” Kuai Liang chuckled, glancing up from the paper, “Or at least, we’re trying to.”

“I’m trying to.” Bi-Han corrected, “You’re just holding the instructions.”

“That’s a form of helping, if you weren’t aware.”

Tomas tilted his head, listening to his brothers bicker intently. He was still getting used to Chinese, and every word seemed to take extra effort as his little mind worked to translate them to and from Czech, his native tongue. “Can I… uhm…” His brows knitted in concentration, his little face scrunching up as he searched for the right words. “Can I watch?”

Kuai Liang’s face softened with a warm smile, and he patted the spot next to him on the floor. “Very good, Tomas.” He encouraged, “Yes, you can watch.”

Tomas beamed at the praise, his small chest puffing up with obvious pride. His socked feet shuffled quickly over as he plopped down next to Kuai, his big eyes fixed on the project. The birdhouse pieces were scattered across the floor in various stages of assembly- some nailed together, while others still lay semi assembled or straight up abandoned, still waiting for their turn to even be looked at. It was utter chaos.

“Hand me the hammer, someone,” Bi-Han said, his gaze entirely focused on choosing the right nail from a small box resting on his thigh. His free hand reached out blindly, waiting. “Please.”

“Ham-mer,” Tomas repeated, testing the new word on his tongue. “Hammer. What hammer?”

Kuai Liang nudged him gently with his elbow, nodding toward the tool resting near Tomas’ side. “That’s a hammer.”

“Oh.” Tomas reached for the tool, the hammer looking comically oversized in his small hands as he heaved it up by the handle. “Kladivo,” he said, handing it over to Bi-Han with both hands. “Here you go,” he added, each word carefully pronounced.

“Kleu-deevo.” Kuai Liang repeated, furrowing his brow in concentration as he tried to mimic the word. “Kle-Kleu.. Kla…? Devo. Divou?”

“Thank you, Tomas,” Bi-Han said, taking the hammer from the boy with ease. A faint, rare smile tugged at his lips. “Your Chinese is coming along very well,” he added, curling an amused brow at Kuai Liang, who was still struggling with the pronunciation of the fairly simple (in his mind, at least) Czech word. “Unlike Kuai Liang’s Czech, apparently.”

Tomas giggled at the comment, patting Kuai Liang’s knee in sympathy, offering an encouraging smile up at his big brother. “Really close! You can do it!”

Bi-Han snorted, amused by the scene, which only made Kuai shoot him a glare that, if it could, would definitely burn holes right through him. His brother’s chocolate-brown eyes narrowed, then suddenly dropped to Bi-Han’s lap, attention back to the birdhouse in progress. Then, a slow, smug grin spread across his face as he noticed something. 

“You put that piece upside-down,” Kuai pointed out with a triumphant grin, turning the instructions around so Bi-Han could clearly see how the pieces were supposed to fit together, the little images massive and painfully obvious. “It’s supposed to be the other way around. See?”

“Dammit-” Bi-Han muttered under his breath, reaching for the hammer once more- this time, the clawed side. He’d already nailed the damn pieces together- Kuai just had to wait until the end to tell him, didn’t he? Sly bastard.

Tomas, still watching the whole exchange, broke into another fit of high-pitched giggles. “Hloupý Bi.” He drummed his fingers on his leg in quick thought, “Silly.” He translated for them, “Silly Bi.”

Kuai chuckled, ruffling Tomas’ hair, “Ha-loopy indeed.”

Bi-Han just found himself rolling his eyes yet again.

Techpriest Enginseer Bi-Δ Veltrok, the second most regular member of Inquisitor Wrex's retinue, she oversees the maintenance and upkeep of the many relics in the retinue's service. Often only absent when recalled to report on specific activity, deliver relics on behalf of the inquisition, or receive additional training in ancient machine rites.

She relishes every time she gets to partake in field work, particularly in stress testing xenos defenses against the technologies of the imperium. The many augments she has received in her time under inquisitorial service are far in excess of what an enginseer would normally sport, allowed only citing that she needs proper tools to represent the mechanicus' good name. In truth, many of her newer augments are battlefield salvage the magos would frown on, especially her left arm, liberated from a xenarite magos executed by the Inquisitor for aiding an ork incursion in the name of research.

Starting my new position has been insanely busy as of late, and admittedly the only studying I've been doing is about the company. Theres so much more I'd like to learn, especially for this new position so I'm adjusting my "study priorities list" to account for the new changes

The "eat the frog" method needs to be its own category on my list, because there are a lot of impactful items that I'm putting off- but that could be done in a weekend. These for me are quick, high priority and high impact things (ie. a tool that could put me ahead at work)

My frogs:

🐸 Advanced power BI

🐸 Selenium (a tool for automated testing)

High priority (2-3 hours every day):

✒ Python + data structures

Medium priority:

✒ My portfolio (1 hour a day)

✒ GMAT prep (10 minutes a day)

Low priority:

🕰 Azure

MK1 Tomas headcannon

Tomas has sharp teeth. Not fangs necessarily, but they're pretty sharp.

It was a normal thing in his family, they all took pride in it. They were hunters, they should have sharp teeth. Ever photo had full smiles with teeth.

This also means, Tomas is a bitter.

Whether it was a play fight with his sister, training with his parents or an actual hunt, Tomas would bite. He was aloud to. It was a tool, just as useful as a blade or his own hands.

When he was taken in by Lin kuei, he would either be quiet and still, or screeching and biting. He's left teeth marks on serval older members, much to their dismay and the old grandmasters joy. He could always make a joke out of anything, it helped Tomas feel at ease.

Both Bi-han and Kuai were invested in Tomas's bites. He stopped biting so often as he got older, but the marks and rumors stayed.

Both asked him to bite them, a playful test of strength on Kuai's end, and Tomas refused. He didn't want to risk hurting either of them.

One night though, after a long day of training, Bi-han came to Tomas' room. Tomas was about 15 at the time, Bi-han was 17. And it started normal enough, a question of how training went, a few little jokes but Tomas couldn't feel comfortable under Bi-han's gaze. Then Bi-han asked him to bite him.

Tomas horrified, refused. Bi-han insisted, offering his arm. They went back and forth and Bi-han started shoving Tomas. Bi-han wanted Tomas mad, and Tomas knew.

It broke out into a full fight, mostly grapling. It reached its fever-pitch when Bi-han had Tomas pinned on the floor, completely laying his weight on Tomas so he couldn't move. Scared and angry, Tomas latched onto Bi-han's neck and bit down hard.

Bi-han yelled, practically screamed, and tried to stand up. Pushing Tomas off of him, but he wouldn't let go. Tomas only de-latched when Bi-han was on his back and quietly mubled "Tomas...it hurts".

He jumped off immediately, backing up the wall and stared at his brother. All his senses where filled with blood and regrett. "I... by the gods I'm so sorry Bi-han". He wanted to comfort him, to help clean the wound, but he was frozen in place.

He expected yelling, a beating, anything really. But Bi-han just sat there, hair a mess, holding his neck and breathing heavily as he stared at Tomas. They stayed like that for a few minutes until the strangest thing happened.

Tomas who had been crying silently watched as Bi-han's face changed. It went from a state of confusion and possible fear, to a smile. A smile Bi-han only wore when he had won a fight that ended in broken bones and bloodied faces. He walked over to Tomas and patted his head.

"You were right to not bite Kuai Liang. He wouldn't be able to take it. Sleep well"

He got up and left. Leaving Tomas confused. All he could do was wash off and get into bed. He kept thinking of the way Bi-han's hand felt on his head.

Unbeknownst to Tomas, Bi-han was filled with nothing but pride as he went to clean his new wound. He hummed,almost, as he treated it. He felt he had a better understanding of Tomas, knowing he could actually hold his own. It's a mark he almost treasures.

Modern Blue Lions headcanons

Dimitri

Has difficulties with fine motor skills following the car accident that killed his family and Glenn. Has to use accommodating tools like specific silverware and a laptop to take notes in class. Kids used to be jealous that he got use a laptop in class but he just wanted to be normal

Also a regular member of the BIPOC solidarity club. Dimitri, Dorothea, Ashe and Constance are the token white allies.

(mental health spiraling) "haha puberty/hormones :) No need to discuss these new symptoms with anyone, it's just normal teenager things" (it is not normal teenage things)

Annette

banned from home ec after starting a fire while making a salad... She's was trying to make homemade croutons...

girl ADHD :)

she got a B on a chem test one and cried about it for 2 days straight

"Maybe if I get all A and get this many awards and get this many scholarships, my dad will love me :)" (girl.. :( )

Frenemies with Lysithea. They're buddies until it's time for exams. Then it's war. There can only be one valedictorian. (death note's "I'll take a potato chip and eat it" songs plays in the background)

Olivia Rodrigo stan

Sylvain

Hasn't said "okay i'm sorry that I looked at Mrs Riley and lightly grazed her left tit" but has said that exact same thing

Ingrid

"Gay people are real??? They don't just exist in San Francisco and on Glee???" /gen confusion. Not in a homophobic way, she's just raised in a conservative environment and instead of going on the internet, she hangs out with her horses (Just wait till she finds out about trans people)

When her family was going through a particularly hard financial time, her friends started packing extra lunch. They all know she doesn't accept handouts but Ingrid will never say no to leftovers.

So chronically offline. Who's Billie Eilish? What's Succession? What is Rizz?? They're making another Spider-Man movie!?

Felix

"I fucking hate my dad" "why? Is it cause he didn't accept you being queer/trans?" "No, he was cool with that. He's just fucking annoying."

"Ingrid, what the hell, I'm literally trans. You know this. We've been friends since we were in diapers." "Oh. I forgot." "YOU FORGOT!?"

Wasian. (tw sui joke) @ Dimitri and Sylvain "stop joking about killing yourself--you're appropriating my culture, assholes."

Secret Olivia Rodrigo fan. He only listens to her music on youtube + incognito mode. Only Annette knows. Annette manages to get them concert tickets were they run into Lysithea.

Ashe

Spider-Man stan on main. Somehow he convinces Dedue to be his Ned Leeds to his Peter Parker for Halloween

Hello!! Thanks for the tags @hushed-chorus, @bookish-bogwitch, @cosmicalart, @j-nipper-95, @forabeatofadrum, @orange-peony, @ileadacharmedlife and @aroace-genderfluid-sheep! So fun to see what everyone is working on!

I've been doing some tests for audio for my @caught-on-tape-fest, which has been difficult because my children have been home sick almost every day this week. Anyway, got a first roll of a fic and learned a lot, like: I'm definitely not going to be trying a British accent (comes out half-Australian, I blame Bluey), I need a working doc so that I can highlight different characters dialogue in different colors to allow for different pacing and emphasis, and I need to talk slower. 

That said, I am excited and it's fun. Haven't yet done any editing but I have done that before and I feel pretty sure I'll be able to manage. 

Also this week I wrote some Simon's Two Mums and some of one of my CORB pieces. Sentences from both below!

My CORB piece, draft titled mechanic!Simon:

One of my foster families had three cars up on blocks in the backgarden. Kitty said she collected kids and Jules collected cars. It worked for them. Worked for me too. Kitty wasn't my biggest fan, but Jules didn't mind a quiet pair of eyes watching him, tools being passed his way when he reached for them. He didn't talk a lot either, but when he bought the Mini ('74) he patted the hood and said, "Happy Birthday, Simon."

Simon's two mums (draft titled normal!Simon even though he's reallllly not) also this is 8 sentences. Ah well:

Baz uses words like purview. I can barely get my lips around them. Why the crucible thought that he and I would be good as roommates, I don't know.  But I do like him. And he likes Penny. And Penny likes me. So it works out, even if it does kind of suck to be the in-between friend.  Not that Keris and Penny are better suited as roommates than Baz and me.

One thing that's helping me to work on these two pieces in tandem is that they're both stories where the WOM timeline doesn't happen the way it does in canon, so I get to be really generative in thinking about what the actual universe of CO is like, and what the social and political dynamics would be like if the events that happen canonically hadn't happened. Fun! Difficult! My jam.

Tag/hellos under the cut. :)

How do we donate for the creation of the search tool?

Thank you so so much for wanting to donate, but I don't want to accept any more donations at this point 💕 I've received $175 from a few very kind contributors already, or $167 after the Ko-fi fees. The whole thing cost $180. That leaves $13 for me to pay out of pocket, which I'm totally fine with.

I don't expect to need any more paid services as of now to help me do what I'm doing, but I'll keep you guys posted if something comes up that I think might be helpful!

The only thing I might add to my costs is 1 more month of RowZero to potentially help with some data analysis, but I don't know that that's needed yet. I may be able to get everything done without it.

Based on what I've seen of the scraping code used, I think most of the skipped fics may have been the result of the code design, not any characteristics of the fics. I'll keep looking to confirm, but I'm pretty certain. I'm not going to publicly discuss the exact deficiency I suspect, but it's beginner level, and I don't think any serious scraper would make the same mistake.

Where I'd like to go from here is testing some prevention techniques on my own fics, attempting to scrape my own fics, and seeing which techniques work to stop it. I expect to be able to do that at no cost.

Also, since I HAVE this year of Power BI paid for already, it'll be available to host another lookup tool if god forbid there's another AO3 scrape in the next 12 months.

Fiber Circulator: A Vital Component in Optical Communication

In modern fiber optic networks, managing the direction of light signals is essential for efficient data transmission. One key device that makes this possible is the fiber circulator. Though small in size, fiber circulators perform critical functions that improve the performance and flexibility of optical communication systems.

What is a Fiber Circulator?

A fiber circulator is a three-port optical device that directs light signals in a specific, one-way pattern. Unlike a simple splitter or coupler, a circulator routes signals from Port 1 to Port 2, Port 2 to Port 3, and sometimesPort 3 back to Port 1, without allowing signals to travel backward. This one-way flow makes circulators extremely useful in complex network setups where bidirectional signal management is required.

How Does a Fiber Circulator Work?

Fiber circulators operate based on polarization controlandmagneto-optic effects. Inside, they use Faraday rotators, polarizers, and other optical components to control the direction of light. This unique design allows circulators to separate forward and backward traveling light signals, guiding them along different paths without interference.

Applications of Fiber Circulators

Bi-Directional Communication: Fiber circulators allow two-way communication over a single fiber strand, enabling efficient use of network infrastructure — commonly used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) systems.

Optical Sensing and Testing: In Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR), circulators separate the outgoing test signal from the reflected signal, helping to locate faults or breaks in fiber optic cables.

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM): Circulators are used to add or drop specific wavelength channels in DWDM systems, enhancing network capacity and flexibility.

Laser Protection: Circulators protect sensitive lasers by diverting any reflected light away from the laser source, preventing feedback that could damage equipment.

Conclusion

Fiber circulator is essential tools in fiber optic networks, enabling advanced routing, testing, and protection of optical signals. As demand for faster and more efficient communication grows, the role of fiber circulators continues to expand, supporting the backbone of modern telecommunications.

Wir werden also 5300 Bildbeschreibungen schreiben müssen

Bei der Vorbereitung der diesjährigen Techniktagebuch-als-Buch-Ausgabe zähle ich zum ersten Mal durch: Das Techniktagebuch enthält rund 5600 Bilder. Davon haben 300 eine Bildbeschreibung, die von Screenreadern vorgelesen werden kann. Bei 4700 steht im alt-Tag nur "image" und bei den dann noch fehlenden 600 vermutlich nicht mal das.

Ich habe so was Ähnliches erwartet, denn in den ersten sieben bis acht Jahren des Techniktagebuchs haben wir uns fast gar nicht um Bildbeschreibungstexte gekümmert. Schwache Entschuldigung: Der alte Tumblr-Editor machte einem das nicht so leicht, man musste die Bildbeschreibungen von Hand in der HTML-Ansicht des Beitrags einbauen. Wenn etwas so umständlich ist, suggeriert das auch, dass es eh nicht so wichtig sein kann. Aber eigentlich hätten wir es besser wissen müssen.

Ich weiß nicht, was bei den anderen Autor*innen des Techniktagebuchs die Gründe waren. Ich selbst bin vor allem deshalb nicht früher auf die Idee gekommen, weil ich erst seit wenigen Jahren selbst (früher bei Twitter, jetzt bei Mastodon) oft Bildbeschreibungen sehe. Dabei habe ich gemerkt, dass es erstens viele Menschen gibt, die sie sich wünschen und man sie zweitens auch als sehender Mensch gut brauchen kann, zum Beispiel wenn ich nicht verstehe, was auf einem Bild zu sehen ist. Oder wenn der Text auf einem Bild in der Ansicht auf dem Handy unlesbar klein ist (so wie in den Screenshots in diesem Beitrag hier). Oder wenn ich Hintergrundinformationen brauche, weil ich wegen meiner Prosopagnosie oder aus Ahnungslosigkeit abgebildete Personen nicht erkenne. Oder wenn ich mit dem Zug durch eine Funklochregion fahre und statt der Bilder nur die Bildbeschreibungen zu sehen bekomme.

Ich habe mit einem ungünstigen Verhältnis von Beschreibung zu Keine-Beschreibung gerechnet, aber dass dem Techniktagebuch so viele Beschreibungstexte fehlen, überrascht mich doch. Und es bedeutet, dass es sehr lange dauern wird, die Bildbeschreibungen nachträglich einzubauen. Da die Beiträge, die im alten Tumblr-Editor (vor 2023) geschrieben wurden, nur in diesem Editor bearbeitet werden können, heißt das, dass wir dazu jeden Beitrag öffnen, in die HTML-Ansicht umschalten und das alt-Tag mit der Bildbeschreibung an der richtigen Stelle einfügen müssen. Während man das Bild dann beschreibt, kann man es nicht sehen. Das ist im neuen Tumblr-Editor sogar genauso, denn da überlagert das Eingabefeld unpraktischerweise das Bild. Man braucht also in jedem Fall einen Second Screen, auf dem das Bild zu sehen ist. Ich mache das mit dem Handy.

Wegen dieser Umständlichkeit, und weil in letzter Zeit überall von großen Fortschritten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe von Bildanalyse und großen Sprachmodellen zu lesen ist, probiere ich heute mehrere Tools aus, mit denen das angeblich automatisch geht. Ich habe nicht aufwändig recherchiert, welche man da nimmt, es sind einfach die ersten paar Googletreffer zu dem Thema.

Ich teste mit dem als Letztes im Techniktagebuch verwendeten Bild aus diesem Beitrag von Oliver Laumann.

Oliver hat dazu die folgende Bildbeschreibung verfasst:

"Vierfarbkugelschreiber in Originalverpackung, Rückseite einer Postkarte mit dem Text 'Ich hab die Originalminen dringelassen, weil Original, aber hier sind neue. Grüße, Kathrin', kleiner Zip-Lock-Beutel mit vier verschiedenfarbigen Kugelschreiberminen".

Es ist sicher nicht ganz einfach, dieses Bild hilfreich und korrekt zu beschreiben, wenn man nicht Oliver Laumann ist, sondern eine Maschine. Aber die Schwierigkeit der Aufgabe scheint mir einigermaßen repräsentativ für die übrigen Bilder im Techniktagebuch.

Beim "Free AI Image Alt Text Generator" kann ich zwischen mehreren Sprachen auswählen:

Außerdem gibt es verschiedene Beschreibungsstile:

Ich wähle "Casual". Das Ergebnis ist wenig hilfreich:

Im Stil "Academic" wird es nicht besser:

Auch die anderen Beschreibungsstile führen nur zu minimalen Variationen von "Irgendwas mit Farbstiften, perfekt für kreative Projekte!"

Der "AI Alt Text Generator" bietet mir in der Testversion keine Sprachauswahl an und schlägt vor: "A package of colored pencils with a note on it." Immerhin ist die handschriftliche Notiz hier erkannt worden. Zum Verständnis des Beitrags trägt die Beschreibung aber nichts bei.

Der "Alt Text Generator" meint: "a box of pens and a package of paper".

Einige andere Tools verwenden offenbar intern die gleiche Technik und sagen ebenfalls "a box of pens and a package of paper".

Ich halte es für möglich, dass es kostenpflichtige Angebote gibt, die bessere Bildbeschreibungen erzeugen, finde aber im Rahmen meiner Suchgeduld nicht zu einer Möglichkeit, das gratis auszuprobieren. Und ich habe keine Lust, erst einen Testaccount anzulegen, nur um dann herauszufinden, dass die es auch nicht können.

Vielleicht sind Bildbeschreibungen nur eine Brückentechnologie, und bald werden Screenreader die Bilder selbst erkennen und beschreiben können. Hier denke ich mal einen Gedanken, denn ich eher selten denke, nämlich: Bildbeschreibung von einem Menschen, bevorzugt einem mit Wissen über das Bild, das nicht im Bild enthalten ist, wird immer besser bleiben als automatisch erzeugte Beschreibung. Gleichzeitig misstraue ich diesem Gedanken aus Prinzip, weil "Irgendeine Technik wird irgendwas niemals so gut können wie ein Mensch" eine Aussage ist, mit der man historisch oft unrecht hat. Zusammengefasst: Ich habe keine Ahnung. Aber diese Ahnungslosigkeit von 2024 ist hiermit festgehalten.

Jedenfalls werden wir 5600 Beschreibungen selbst ausdenken und einbauen müssen. Das klappt für die diesjährige Buchausgabe nicht mehr. Aber das Techniktagebuch ist ja ein Langzeitprojekt.
