Hi Gokul & Everyone on the thread, 

My Name is Ravi, I have been working with Adobe Target for a couple of years now. I am based out of Chicago and work for a pharmaceutical client, with focus primarily on content rotation and improving site engagement leveraging adobe Target. As part of these discussions I would like to learn more about Profile Scripts and how to expand on the profile scripts feature when implementations switch to webSDK and to learn more about first touch personalizations. Looking forward to interacting with all, and exchange ideas over the next few weeks. 

Cheers!!

[Gokul_Agiwal]

Hello Aspirants,

@OliviaBreheny  @awanishk1743512 @Dmytro_Panchenk @ZvoidZ @RavikiranPaturi @ReinaldoNa1 @renatobocalini @Subratpalo555 @madalavenkat7 @VinayC @NamanSa 

Here is the first quiz for Week1

There is requirement to compare two different experience on a page, and then traffic will be redirected to the winner. 

Which type of A/B activity can be used to meet this requirement? 

1. Manual A/B Test 
2. Auto-Target
3. Auto-Allocate 

Reply your answers here with explanation if possible. 

[NamanSa]

3. Auto-Allocate

Auto-Allocate compares two (or more) different experiences until they they reach statistical significance, then starts redirecting majority of new traffic to the winning experience - thus satisfying our requirements.

However, in real life, I would check for some nuances:

1. Auto-Allocate requires medium-to-high volume for its Algorithm to be efficient. We need to make sure the page is getting the required volume.
2. If deep statistical analysis is needed to "compare two different experience on a page", Auto-Allocate may not be a good option since it keeps changing the %split.

In such scenarios, Manual A/B Test can be used.

[Gokul_Agiwal]

@NamanSa Yes, Auto Allocate is the right one and nice to have the explanation. 

 @OliviaBreheny  @awanishk1743512 @Dmytro_Panchenk @ZvoidZ @RavikiranPaturi @ReinaldoNa1 @renatobocalini @Subratpalo555 @madalavenkat7 @VinayC  - Please get engaged in weekly quiz session. 

Remember, the most engaged aspirants will receive the Adobe Swag.
