About the results of an A/B test

After you activate an A/B testing campaign, you can keep an eye on the results. Oracle Eloqua continues to track all activity for the testing campaign for 12 months after the campaign started. Find out more about the results:

While the A/B testing campaign is running and before a winner has been chosen, you can view the results of the test in real-time. You can view how many emails we sent or excluded, a count of contacts included in the testing, and real-time email performance metrics.

Viewing the contacts included or excluded from the campaign

To view the details of the contacts sent an email in the A/B testing campaign (or those that excluded from the original segment), use the View Participant links. This provides visibility into which contacts received the emails, and which failed to receive them, either due to unsubscribes, bouncebacks, or other deliverability issues.
