# A/B ou N testing

### 1. Business Value: Decide based on data, not intuition

A/B testing allows you to remove any doubts about the effectiveness of a change by comparing two (or more) versions with similar audience samples.

* **Maximising conversions**: Validate which headline or button generates the most clicks or purchases.
* **Consent optimisation:** Identify the banner design that maximises opt-ins while remaining compliant.
* **Risk reduction**: Test a new feature on a small percentage of your traffic before rolling it out across the board.

### 2. Implementation methodology

#### Step 1 : PREPARE THE DESIGN OF THE BANNERS TO BE TESTED 

* This first step consists of defining the format and design of the banners to be tested in your A/B test campaign. 
* Go to the Privacy Banners module to create your banners.

#### Step 2 : CREATE THE DISPLAY SCENARIO FOR YOUR A/B or N TEST&#x20;

* This step consists of telling your container which test scenario to run.&#x20;
* To do this, go to the menu Data management > Data specification > Web datalayer > Data storage&#x20;
* Then click on "add data storage".

#### Step 3 : ADD PRIVACY DISPLAY CONSTRAINTS ON COOKIES&#x20;

* The purpose of this step is to define the display scenario for the banners you created [in step 1](#step-1).&#x20;
* To do this, simply go to your container from the source > overview menu
