Adobe Target

Hello,

I was just wondering a way to test the different experience that's setup for A/B testing in Target.

I understand that Target have provided an "Activity QA" URL which appends parameters to the site, however depending on how the Target's activity / experiment is setup, the "Activity QA" URL might not be available. For instance, if the activity is set to have one initial audience, but each location is filtered down again based on difference audience criteria, with this config we're unable to get the QA URL parameters. Most of the published/activated experiments are already configured in a way where the "Activity QA" URLs cannot be used. Screenshot attached below of what it currently shows for me.

Is there a way to verify and test this experiment without the QA URL parameters? For instance clearing or setting certain cookies? The way that we've been testing these are using private/incognito, but we still have to close the browser and reopen the site again to get different experiences/routes.I could see there are cookies that starts with "mbox", however clearing that out will still give me the same experience/route.

I was hoping an easier way to test all experience, because if there are more than 2 experiences/route, it's a pain closing and reopening the browser over and over again to verify all experiences

It doesn't perfectly answer your question but I found adding the following script as a browser bookmark was helpful as it allowed me to quickly exit "QA" mode while testing.

javascript&colon; (function () {
    if (window.location.href.indexOf('?') != -1) {
        var parts = window.location.href.split('at_preview_token', 2);
        if (parts.length > 1) {
            window.location.href = parts[0].concat('at_preview_token=');
        } else {
            window.location.href = window.location.href.concat("&at_preview_token=")
        }
    } else {
        window.location.href = window.location.href.concat("?at_preview_token=")
    }
})();
