Does anyone know how to test publisher markup with the new Google structured data testing tool?

Hi, unfortunately this is not possible yet in the new SDTT. I really hope Google will give us something to test these kind of strucuterd data , but for now you have to trust yourself.

if you do it like this way: http://www.vervesearch.com/blog/how-to-implement-the-relpublisher-google-authorship-mark-up/

you'll be fine!Grtz, Leonie

The good news is you're not crazy - I've tested a few sites I know for sure have rel=publisher implemented correctly and it's not showing the publisher markup in the tool. I imagine it's a bug in the tool (it's a notoriously buggy tool). The bad news is there's not much to be done but wait for the tool to be updated. In the meantime, you can spot-check your markup by googling your brand regularly - sooner or later you should see the publisher markup be added to your brand SERP. You can also check your Google+ page to make sure you get the little check mark that says "verified site." Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, but I don't think there is one!
