Build a Dynamic Testing Experience

Dynamic Testing experiences are powered by the Dynamic Testing algorithm that determines the right content to show to the majority of your audience. This type of experience is effective when you only want to run an experience for a short time.

Follow these steps to create a Dynamic Testing experience.

1. Click EXPERIENCES in the top navigation bar and then select Web.

   

2. Click CREATE EXPERIENCE.

   

3. Configure the WHY settings.
   1. Click WHY, select Dynamic Testing, and then click NEXT.

      

   2. Select the goal metric you want to optimize with this experience, and then click NEXT.

      Ensure you put some time and thought into selecting the most appropriate goal metric for the Dynamic Testing experience. Monetate optimizes the traffic distribution for the experience to display the most successful split to more of the experience traffic based on this metric. Once you activate the experience, you cannot make changes to its configuration.

      

   3. Select any secondary metrics that you want to track with the Dynamic Testing experience, and then click NEXT.

      The Dynamic Testing algorithm personalizes based on the goal metric that you selected in the previous step. Since the engine is not optimizing for secondary metrics, it's possible that they may underperform within the experience.

      

   4. Verify that you've configured the WHY settings properly, and then click SAVE.

      

4. Optionally, narrow the target audience for the experience. Click WHO, click ADD TARGET, select a target type, and then complete the settings for that target. See Configure Experience Targeting and Types of WHO Targets for more information about target options and settings.

   

5. Configure the WHAT settings.
   1. Configure at least one WHAT action. Click the A field, click ADD ACTION, select an action type, and then complete the settings for that action. Refer to the Actions category for more information.

      

   2. Optionally, add more variants to test multiple versions of action A. Hover your mouse pointer over the plus sign (+) under the Control field of the WHAT settings, click ADD VARIANT when it appears, select an option, and then configure the variant. See Add Variants to a Web Experience for more information.

      

6. Click WHEN, click START AND STOP TIME, and then configure the date and time settings for the experience. See Configure Experience Timing for more information.

   You must click Specific End Date before you can add an end date and time to your experience.

   

7. Click PREVIEW and then select the option that corresponds to the variant you want to preview and if you want to preview it alone or with all other active experiences. See Activate an Experience for Preview and Testing for more information.

   

8. Click ACTIVATE to deploy the experience to your site as determined by the WHEN configuration.

   You cannot edit a Dynamic Testing experience once you activate it. For example, if you want to debug a Dynamic Testing experience that was configured to target a product detail page but that action condition was removed for debugging purposes, the condition still exists in the activated state of the Dynamic Testing experience. However, you can modify the action conditions and other aspects of the experience. To do so, you must duplicate the experience and properly configure all conditions before you activate it.
