Manage A/B tests campaigns

You can manage A/B tests in one of the following ways:

  • Navigate to Marketing » A/B testing and expand the Actions menu of an A/B test.
    You can sort A/B tests or search for a specific test.
  • In page editing mode, expand the A/B menu and manage the A/B test for this page.

IMPORTANT: Your connection to Sitefinity CMS needs to be properly configured, so that Sitefinity Insight collects data. In case connection is lost, the case may be that the A/B tests is going on but Sitefinity Insight does not track and accumulate data. In addition, you cannot manage the A/B test. For more information, see Troubleshoot connection issues.

The following table summarizes how you can manage A/B tests.

Action Description
Start  You can start or schedule an A/B test on a draft or published page. In case the page is in status Draft, latest changes you made to the page are automatically published. 
Edit  You can edit:
  • Test title
  • Start date

    NOTE: Be aware that by changing the start date of an active A/B test, all statistics prior to the new start date are deleted from Sitefinity Insight.

  • End date
  • Variations
  • Allocation of traffic to the variations
  • Goals

    NOTE: After you edit or add goals, in case you stopped the test, you need to manually resume the A/B test. You can edit tests in Active state. 

    • Also, keep in mind that test results afterwards possibly will be quite altered and may skew your statistics. 
Delete  Once you delete an A/B test in Sitefinity CMS, all data stored in Sitefinity Insight is also deleted.

NOTE: You cannot delete tests that are in status Active. 
Change status  
  • Active
    You can stop the test for any amount of time. All your test data is kept in Sitefinity Insight and not deleted.
  • Stopped
    You can resume an A/B test anytime. Resuming the A/B test will publish all recent changes on the tested page.
  • Ended 
Resume  You can resume an A/B test anytime. Resuming the A/B test will publish all recent changes on the tested page.
End  To end the test, you must select which variation becomes the default content of the page.
