Pre-launch QA

1. Create Your Test with a Cookie Rule

• Create your test as usual (set page URL, variants, etc.)
• In the User Targeting section, add a cookie rule:
  
  • Cookie name: pick any unique name (e.g., my_test_cookie)
  • Value: true
• Activate the test

‍

Only users with this cookie will see the test. Everyone else is unaffected.

‍

2. Set the Cookie on Your Browser

Open your browser's developer console (right-click the page, click "Inspect", go to "Console") and paste:

‍

document.cookie = "my_test_cookie=true;path=/";

localStorage.removeItem("crowainm");

localStorage.removeItem("crowaivc");

location.reload();

‍

Replace my_test_cookie with whatever cookie name you chose in step 1.

‍

3. Verify the Test

• Browse the target pages and confirm the variant appears correctly
• Check the CrowAI dashboard to see your test view recorded

‍

4. Go Live to All Visitors

Once you are happy with the test:

‍

1. Click "Flush Data" on the test to reset all data
2. Remove the cookie rule from User Targeting
3. Set your desired traffic split (e.g., 50/50)
4. Save

‍

The test now runs for all visitors with a clean data start.

5. Clean Up Your Cookie

After going live, remove the test cookie from your browser:

‍

document.cookie = "my_test_cookie=;path=/;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT";

localStorage.removeItem("crowainm");

localStorage.removeItem("crowaivc");

location.reload();
