Test a group of pages

Experiments → New experiment → A group of pages: name a group, choose its pages with URL rules, check which pages it covers, and start one test they share.

  • In Darwin: Experiments → New experiment → A group of pagesOpen in Darwin
  • Updated

Pages with too few visitors for a test of their own learn faster together. A group puts similar pages, such as your service or comparison pages, into one test they share.

Create group in the Evolve & Co. demo: Group name, a rule including pages whose URL starts with /sales-demo/evolve/, Try a URL, and Matching pages on the right.

  1. Start a group

    In Experiments, select New experiment, then A group of pages.

    The New experiment dialog: Where do you want to experiment? with One page, A group of pages and Catch-all.

  2. Name it and choose its pages

    Type a Group name (1). Under Include pages matching any rule, pick URL is, URL starts with or URL contains (2) and type the address (3), such as /services/. Add rule adds another; a page that matches any rule is in. Under Exclude pages, Add exclusion leaves pages out. Type an address in Try a URL (4) to check whether a page matches.

    The group’s rules: Group name marked 1, URL starts with marked 2, /sales-demo/evolve/ marked 3, and Try a URL marked 4 reading Matches your rules.

  3. Check the matching pages

    Matching pages on the right counts the pages the group will test and lists each one. Pages with a test or winning opening of their own keep it, marked with a shield, and don’t join the group.

    Matching pages: 2 pages included, 3 keep their own test or opening, with the protected pages marked by a shield and the included ones by a tick.

  4. Start the test

    Select Review and start (2) to check the group, then Generate and start test. Darwin writes a new opening for the group and tests it against the opening those pages show today. Save for later (1) keeps the group without starting a test.

    Save for later marked 1 and Review and start marked 2.

Good to know

  • A page is in only one test at a time. A page tested on its own, or one with a winning opening of its own, stays out of the group.
  • Rules can’t change while the group’s test runs or while openings are being written.
  • The Catch-all test covers every page that isn’t tested on its own or in a group.
