Participants in a test are broken up into groups. Each group sees different test elements. By default, the Test Group tab contains two groups. One group should see the test elements, in other words the elements that are different from the existing site. The Control group typically sees no test elements.
Follow these steps to set up the test groups.
Open a test and click the Test Groups tab.
By default, the Groups tab displays panes for two groups. If you need to add more groups, click the New Test Group button at the bottom of the page.
Tip: You can hide a group by clicking the minimize button in the right hand corner of each group. This will minimize the group so you can see only the name and percentage value. Maximize the group by clicking the maximize button.
Use the % column to change the percentages associated with each group. The numbers must add up to 100%. By default, all groups are set to the same percentage. To change the percentages, click the lock icon next to the number and enter a new number. Do not click the lock icon again or the numbers will reset to the defaults.
Note: If you unlock all test group percentages, the system no longer verifies that the total adds up to 100%. You must verify the total manually.
Change the Name for each group in the Name field. (optional)
Enter a short description of each group in the Group Description field. (optional)
Configure test elements for each group. For more information, see Configuring Test Elements.
Click Save to save the group information.
Clicking the Reset button resets each field to its last saved value.
