SDTT is a tool from Google which began life as the [Rich Snippets Testing Tool](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2010/09/rich-snippets-testing-tool-improvements)back in 2010.

The newer Google tooling is focused on helping publishers who are targeting specific schema.org-powered[searc](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/search-gallery)[h features](https://www.blogger.com/)offered by Google, and for these purposes is a huge improvement as it contextualizes many warnings and errors to a specific target application.
