How to set up A/B testing on email?

• Create a new Segment email.
• Click on Save & Close.
• Once the email has been validated, click on Create an AB test (with or without AI 😉 ).

• Choose the winning criteria for your A/B test.
• Determine the share (in %) of your segment that will be used for the A/B test. If you choose 10%, the A/B test will be done on this 10% and the winning email will be sent to the remaining 90% of your segment.

• Then determine your test duration. We recommend 24 hours for newsletters/newsletters etc. Don't hesitate to use several days if your email includes form submissions.

• Once done, save and close your email.
• You can add new variants by clicking on Add a variant.
  

The idea is to be able to distribute the weight of each variant as needed. The ideal for an AB test is to distribute the weight of the emails you send fairly evenly (2 variants: 50%, 3 variants: 33.3%, 4 variants: 25%...). However, it can be interesting to put an unequal weight for a big change of newsletter for example. You can very well restrict the novelty to 10% of your test audience so as not to risk the opening rate of your already implemented newsletter.

• Once the volume of traffic is defined, you can save and close.

All that's left is to send your parent email, from the interface on the send button or by scheduling its publication! 🚀
