Multi tests on the same page – Collision management - Page Delivery vs Audience targeting

Hello,

I have setup 2 test -  an A/B test for Mobile Users and an Adobe Recommendation test for Desktop users.

So i have:

Test A (A/B) with page delivery (url + page template) and Audience targeting set up to mobile visitor only

Test B (REC) with page delivery (url + page template) and Audience targeting set up to desktop  visitor only 

If a desktop visitor land on page that qualify for both tests, how the collision is managed?  Does the user automatically qualify for the test B or should I expect to see some cases where the user go through test A, but doesn't qualify for the experience at the audience level.

Many thanks,

Jerome

@Jerome1978,

This is a great question. You won't be allowed to enter the activity unless you match both the URL and the audience targeting so in your example you would e evaluated for both however you would only qualify into TestB because you are on a desktop not on a mobile device.

Hope this helps!

Many thank for your quick reply Mihnea.

It was my understanding, but once I check the test in Adobe analytic I can see some mobile users in the desktop experience.

the Desktop audience has been defined has

Target Library = windows operation system

OR 

Target Library = Mac OS operating system

OR 

Target Library = Linux Operation system

I have just created a new audience defined as

Mobile -  is Mobile = False

Mobile -  is tablet = False

Do you have an recommendation to  define the Desktop Audience?

An evar is fired for when a target experience is delivered so I measure the evar instance.

If I ignore our target Experience Evar setting, the number of visitors going through both tests based on Target is way under the page traffic reported in Adobe analytic by 30%... but this could be another issue.

I am going let the test run with this audience and check if it makes any difference.

Many thanks,

Jerome


I have check the User Agent reported in Adobe analytic and they have 2 Exploitation system reported (high traffic over 50% of the traffic reported for some tests)

mozilla/5.0 (linux; android 8.0.0; sm-a520f build/r16nw; wv) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, like gecko) version/4.0 chrome/70.0.3538.110 mobile safari/537.36

so if the desktop traffic is defined as

Target Library = windows operation system OR  Target Library = Mac OS operating system OR Target Library = Linux Operation system

If target Library is using the User agent, this user can potentially quality for both mobile and desktop test.
